Overview:
Learn to scuba with an Open Water Class. In your Open Water Class, you will gain the classroom knowledge in basic scuba physics, physiology, equipment, etc. This knowledge is then applied in a Pool environment where you can learn and hone your basic diving skills. At the completion of the class room and pool sessions, you will do 4 dives in an open water environment and experience first hand the fun and excitement Scuba Diving has to offer.

Classroom:

In the class room, you will study the academic aspects of diving. You will study such diverse subjects as Equipment, Diving Physics, The Diving Environment, Diving Physiology and more...

While this may not be the most exciting aspect of a Scuba class, the information is essential to becoming a good, safe diver. You will find that our instructors are able to teach this material in such a way as to even make studying Diving Physics fun!!

The price of our classes includes all class room materials, so when you sign up for your class, you will receive a full color text book, and a dive table. We will also issue you a free log book when you go for your checkout dives.

Also in our comfortable classroom, you will view several different videos which will help you to grasp the important concepts of Scuba.

Admittedly, not the most exciting part of a Scuba class, but the knowledge you gain in our class room will start you on your way to safely enjoying the adventure of Scuba!

And remember to ask about getting free pool time anytime you want to tune up your skills after your class is over!

Check Out Dives:

After we finish the classroom and pool sections of the class, we head out to Open Water to do 4 actual dives, 2 on one day, 2 on the next. During these dives you will review all your skills plus learn a few more - like Underwater Navagation.

The Open Water dives will give you the actual practical experience you need to feel confident to dive safely on your own.
