Take the Plunge

What Does Course Consist Of/Cost? Be sure to compare “apples-to-apples.”

We are your full-service diving professionals – we focus on areas that abbreviated training from other training centers leave divers lacking. Some of the best divers and Instructors in the region have learned to dive with us, some even went on to run their own training centers. Most important is that we don’t require you to purchase equipment such as surface maerker buoy's, bags and logbook binders that are not required for your course by the agency you are earning your certification from like other dive shops in the area. In fact, we include the logbook and binder for free. We urge you to compare shops and their TOTAL PROGRAM COSTS before putting any money down. Get a detailed list of what is included and what they want you to purchase for your training – ours are written in this document. We will turn you into a confident, well-trained, and safe diver with no hidden costs. 

Our Total Program of Academics & Water Skill Training:

Our Open Water Scuba Diver Referral Course is just $325! What’s more we provide you up to 6 months dive insurance FREE while training. Who else does that? Yes, others may charge less but what else do they want you to buy for the course – find out before making the commitment.

You will complete your knowledge development utilizing the SSI Open Water Diver digital course material that is on-line, including your final exam. Do it at your own pace and on your own schedule. Worried about passing the test? Folks, every agency permits children as young as 10 years old to earn a scuba diver certification and they take the same tests.

Once you on-line course work is completed we will schedule approximately 8 hours of pool training with you to learn all of the skills to be a competent scuba diver. Meanwhile we will have coordinated your remaining open water 4 or more dives with a SSI training center where you plan on your vacation to complete your training and certification. They will charge you for that portion of your course and any gear you might still need.

Open Water Divers are trained and certified to:

• Trained and certified to dive to a maximum depth of 60 feet (take the Deep Specialty Course and reach the recreational dive limit of 130 feet).
• Obtain air fills, rent or purchase scuba equipment and participate in other diving activities.
• Continue your dive training and complete more advanced diver courses and certifications such as Nitrox, Science of Diving and Rescue specialty courses to go deeper or longer.

The Fun Part

The Open Water Diver certification opens the door on the underwater world for anyone who's thought that a course would be too difficult. Your certification card never expires and is accepted worldwide.

What You Learn

Many of our dive Instructors have over 1,000 logged dives of experience so you are being taught by the very best. One lady we taught to scuba and become an instructor is now a SSI Entended Range International Training Director for SSI and owns her own dive training center (we teach the best to dive). All the basics of scuba diving through knowledge development utilizing state-of-the-art digital material at your own pace and schedule; a set of scuba skills in the pool that you'll master and use again during open water dives; and finally an appreciation for the underwater world that will keep you coming back for more bottom time every chance you get! During the course you'll cover material and practice skills related to topics such as:

• Buoyancy skills including comfortable ascents and descents, and breathing underwater.
• Staying warm underwater, streamlining your swimming skills and buddy diving techniques.
• Diving environments and aquatic life you're likely to encounter.
• Preventing common problems underwater.

The Scuba Gear You Use

Most importantly - with the exception of a timing device (or dive computer), mask, snorkel, fins and boots (you can purchase from us with 10% off) - we do not make you purchase equipment like safety tubes, clips, bags, defog, logbooks, binders etc. as some other shops do. You'll use all the basic scuba gear required by the training agencies but you will need to invest in your own timing device, mask, snorkel, fins and fin boots since these personal items are a lot more fun to use when they fit properly and you won't have to pack a lot of extra dive gear or rent this stuff on your vacation dive trips. Our students get 10% off these items or anything in our store, during their training. We will supply everything else that you need, including a log book and binder, with the exception of the above items already mentioned. Ask us how we can help you purchase your own Total Diving System with your course and take 6 or 12 months to pay for it INTEREST FREE! We will also give you your course for free, add FIVE ecology specialty coursesand the Computer Diver Specialty Course all for FREE when purchasing your Total Dive System from us, that way you can train in your own life support gear and have it for your first dive vacation. No one else in our market offers such a deal.

The Learning Materials You Need:

We offer a variety of home-study materials - but prefer the SSI Digital Training Courses as they let you learn on your own schedule and not be stuck in a classroom for several nights on our schedule. Your diver materials provide a comprehensive overview of basic scuba diving skills, terminology and safety procedures. For each concept you'll read a description and watch a video demonstration, and take on-line quizes to test your comprehension of the material. Once completed your final exam will be there for you to complete. Once you're a certified diver, use the course materials as a reference guide for future diving adventures. You will always have access to the most current material at no cost. Folks, children as young as 10 can become divers and have the same requirements as adults so learning to scuba dive is not difficult.
