 Course Overview:
The Open Water Diver Course is the course where you learn how to scuba dive. As a certified Open Water Diver you have the freedom
to dive with a buddy independent of a professional. What you will learn? You will learn about scuba diving including equipment care
and diving techniques.
Prerequisites:
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn the Open Water Diver certification.
You must be at least 10 years old prior to the start date of the class. Divers between the ages of 10 and 14 earn the Jr. Open
Water Diver Certification. Divers between the ages of 10 and 11 may only dive with a Professional, a certified parent or certified
guardian to a maximum depth of 40 feet.
Course Activities:
There are at least 2 classroom sessions, 5 confined water pool dives and 4 open water dives.
- Classroom: You will need to read the entire Open Water Diver Manual (included in the course price)
and watch the entire DVD prior to coming to the first classroom session. The classroom session will cover all 5 chapters (can be done
in 2 sessions of 3 to 4 hours each). This portion of the course covered by
PADI eLearning course.
- Independent Study: Before you come to the first class meeting, read the entire Open Water
Diver Manual, complete the knowledge reviews located at the end of each chapter and watch the entire DVD. You will need to
contact us to get the manual and DVD. This portion of the course covered by
PADI eLearning course.

(can be done in 1 session of 5 to 8 hours each).

 Length of Course:
Your time with us can be as little as two weekends. The time it takes for the independent study
to read the entire Open Water Diver Manual, complete the knowledge reviews at the end of each
chapter and watch the entire video/DVD is dependent upon each student. If a student has read the
entire Open Water Diver Manual, completed the all knowledge reviews and watched the entire video/DVD
prior to the first class meeting, the classroom and pool confined water dives can be completed on
Saturday and Sunday of one weekend. Then the following weekend go to the lake on Saturday and Sunday
for the open water dives. However, the programs are performance based which means that you proceed
as you demonstrate mastery of the course skills. For example, you have to complete chapter one before
going on to chapter two, and confined water dive one has to be completed before going on to confined
water dive two, and open water dive one has to be completed before going on to open water dive two.
This allows you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you. We have several options on how we
conduct the program.
Class Dates: Group classes are conducted on Saturday and Sunday. We schedule one
group class each month (March -November). Group classes will be conducted if two (2) or more students have
signed up for the class, else the group class will be cancelled and re-scheduled the following month. We offer three (3) training options
for the group course for classroom, confined water, and open water training. All training sessions begin at 8:30 AM on Saturday and Sunday unless
otherwise noted. See the itineraries for each training option below. If the Saturday & Sunday schedule does not work for you, we are flexible and offer
options for weekday evenings for semi-private and private classes. View our online
Dive Training Calendar to find our next scheduled class.
