3 hour session begins promptly at 6:30 PM in the conference room in street
clothes before going to the pool. After the introductory class, each class
will begin with a review and elaboration of the current chapter
followed by a short quiz, before heading to the pool for diving practice.
Bring a swimsuit, towel, and padlock for your locker. We can supply all
your diving equipment. It's very important that you attend all classes,
as they must be completed in order. If you miss a session, it may be made
up at one of our other locations at no additional charge or you may take
a private make-up classes at $20/hour. Your home study materials
will consist of either the PADI manual & video, or CD-ROM. These
may be purchased before classes begins or the first night of class. Family
members may share study materials. Knowledge reviews should be completed
before each class.
After completing classroom and pool sessions, you will need to do four open water dives. These dives are scheduled at various times..(check our calendar). If this is not convenient for you, we can give you a referral to do your dives at another time and place, such as on your next tropical vacation. After you have completed your four open water dives, you will be certified as a PADI Open Water Scuba Diver.
