You start the course by reading the book and watching the video in the comfort of your home. We then reinforce the academics of scuba diving in a casual classroom setting, where we go through all the equipment that you will need for scuba diving and talk about the reason for owning your own equipment. After all, as divers you will want and need scuba equipment at some point.

We also discuss the value of taking specialty courses and additional training. There is so much more dive information available, that we can not place in a basic Open Water Diver Certification Course.

The fundamental skills of scuba diving we teach during two sessions in the pool with lots of repetition and ample chance for you to practice. Should you feel more comfortable with more pool practice, then, Just let us know and we will schedule some more practice. Some divers come back to the pool after their Open Water weekend to further hone their skills

During the Open Water Weekend, it is time for you to demonstrate what you have already learned in the classroom and the pool. Over two days, we do at least four dives in Open Water. There is plenty of time to become comfortable with the environment.
