What's Involved
The Open Water Dive Course is open to individuals 15 years of age and older; 10 and older can be certified as Jr. Open Water Divers. The course consists of 5 academic modules, 5 confined water dives, and 4 open water dives. The open water dives must be completed over a two-day period. The course is performance based, which means you learn by experience. There are no failures! The academics can be completed at home at your own pace or during a classroom session. Also, I don't wait to get a large class before I'll certify you. I do require at least two people so you'll have a buddy to practice with and enjoy the fun!
And you can become certified in as little as 2 days!
Materials Needed
You only need to bring a bathing suit, a towel, and a lot of energy. All equipment is provided in the course. There is nothing else to buy! I do recommend having your own mask, fins, and snorkel selection.
