Open Water Certification

Want to get Scuba Certified? If you have always wanted to learn to scuba dive so you can experience the unparalleled adventure of the world beneath the waves, now is the time!

Scuba Diving is a fun and exciting activity, but it requires proper training. Our goal is to make you safe, confident and comfortable divers. Get your scuba diving certification with the PADI or SSI Open Water Diver course.

Sign up for your online learning to get started, and come to us for your confined water & open water training dives.

What Will You Learn?

The PADI and SSI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases:

  • Knowledge Development ( online, independent study or in a classroom) to understand basic principles of scuba diving
  • Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba skills
  • Open Water Dives to use your skills and explore!

What Will You Do?

The fun part about this course is . . . well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible. You breathe underwater for the first time (something you’ll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified, confident and comfortable diver. During the course, you’ll make at least five pool dives and four dives at local dive sites under the supervision of your PADI or SSI Instructor.

We adjust the locations for your training to you and the season. We want you to have the best experience and best conditions for training and diving.

We encourage the eLearning so you can proceed at your pace and schedule, but we will provide the classroom training by request. Our open water training courses include the certification card, the Electronic Recreational Dive Planner, a log book and a safety sausage.

Course Prerequisites

You must have first completed the e-learning portion of your training to start on your in-water portion of the Open Water Course. The E-Learning is Paid for by the shop.
