Start with online classwork and testing. Once that is completed, you will have two confined water/pool sessions, approximately 4 hours each, a confined saltwater dive in the Beach Club (formerly Schliterbahn) Sea Trek aquarium and then one or two boat dive trips to complete your open water dive requirements. The pool sessions introduce the students to the skills that they need to dive safely, and the diving sessions reinforce each of these skills repeatedly.
Students are required to purchase (provide) own mask, snorkel, boots, and fins. Wetsuits and gloves are optional but highly recommended. Students receive a 10% discount on all purchases thru our store. We provide the BCD (buoyancy control device), regulator, gauges, tanks and weights.
At the end of the course, divers are not just certified, but qualified to dive anywhere in the world!!!
