semi-private classes. Our group class pricing starts at $299 ($225 for eLearning)
per person and includes most everything you will need for the class including scuba park entry fees
for 3 days and 4 air fills for the lake. I provide soft drinks, snacks and sandwiches at the scuba park. You will have to provide
your own personal dive gear of mask, fins, snorkel, and booties. You will need to purchase these items
prior to the first confined water pool sessions. We would suggest you purchase these items from one of our
Affiliate Dive Stores. Let
us know and we can assist with renting a wetsuit if necessary.

 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:

You will need to read the entire Open Water Diver
Manual (included in the course price) and watch the entire video/DVD (included in course price) 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).

 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 a month. The group
class starts at 8:30 AM on Saturday and 8:30 AM on Sunday (
click to see classroom and confined water itinerary).
The following weekend, we will meet at the lake on Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 AM to complete the open water dives
(click to see open water itinerary). If the
Saturday & Sunday schedule does not work for you, I have several options for you including semi-private and
private classes.
How To Sign-Up:
Call us at (407) 658-4797 or you can sign up for the course online. You can come by and
