Open Water Scuba Certification Orientation

SCUBA Certification

The Professional Association of Dive Instructors (PADI) will guide you successfully through confined-water lessons in the lap pool as well as classroom-based instruction, to become a proficient, enthusiastic, and safe SCUBA diver. No prior experience is necessary; requisites include only a comfort in deep water and fair swimming skills. Equipment rentals are included in the cost of registration. A pre-course orientation will be held prior to the first class where students will receive their Crew Pack with educational materials and medical forms, and arrange free equipment rentals. The $351 registration fee covers the cost of all materials and rentals. Ages 10+

*A two-day open water or “check out” dive is required for Open Water Certification and can be coordinated by the instructor at the end of the course (average additional cost of $250 applies). Students also have the opportunity to use the PADI Referral Program to complete check out dives on location world-wide.
