Description

Adventure Divers is pleased to offer the beginner courses from April - December.  We have our own onsite indoor heated training pool that allows us the flexibility to offer small classes  providing our students with an excellent instructor-student ratio.  We also offer private courses designed to meet individual schedules and needs.

The Open Water Scuba Diver Course is the foundation of all diving courses. It is the first level of training / certification designed to give you the necessary skills to safely conduct dives in open water such as rivers, lakes or oceans.

  

This course consists of two (2) components: The Confined Water Training comprised of academic / e-learning, classroom sessions and in-pool scuba skills instruction. The Open Water Evaluation Dives  follow the successful completion of the confined water training and consists of four (4) dives in an open water scenario with an evaluating instructor.  These dives must be completed within six (6) months from the last pool session and are conducted over two (2) consecutive days. Open Water Evaluation Dives are conducted locally from mid May to early October, or can been done with a dive shop down south through the SDI Global Referral Program.

Upon successfully completing the above components, you will receive your SSI or SDI Open Water Diver Certification. This certification is valid for life and recognized worldwide.  Let our professional staff with over 25 years of diving experience introduce you to excitement and adventure in the world of SCUBA!
