LEARNING TO DIVE IN THE 21st CENTURY: Today with the Self Study eLearning, we take a new approach to your dive education needs. When you sign up for a class you must select your certifing agency, NAUI, SDI or PADI. Then you will go home to begin your online eLearning knowing you can call us at any time if you need help. You then return to purchase your mask, fins, and snorkel. Once you complete your studies and take your final exam you can schedule your pool session. We always want those who have completed their studies in the pool because they will have the best learning experience with the prior knowledge under their belt. When the academics and pool sessions are complete the studen then chooses how/where they will do their open water dives.

OVERVIEW: Scuba Diver is the entry level scuba certification course. It provides the fundamental knowledge and skills to scuba dive. Upon successful completion of this course, graduates are considered competent to engage in open water diving activities without supervision, provided the diving activities and the areas dived approximate those of training. You must also be accompanied by an equally or higher trained buddy.

PREREQUISITES:Minimum Age  is 15 years for Scuba Diver certification. (Junior certification for ages 10 - 14 years with adult) You must be comfortable swimming in water over your head..

No more than three scuba dives may be made on a single day during the course. Open water training may be completed in two days with a skin dive and two scuba dives on one day and two additional scuba dives on the other day. All open water training must take place during daylight hours. Sixty feet (18 m) is the maximum depth for any open water training dives during the course. These dives must be completed within six months of the end of the class.
