Introductory dives begin with a short introduction to the rules of SCUBA diving, learning about basic equipment and practicing a few safety skills in shallow water. Once you become relaxed then you'll go on a guided tour with your instructor no deeper than 40 ft. It is a great way to try diving without being certified.

Open water certification classes can be completed in 3-4 days. Call or e-mail ahead to reserve a space in one of our small classes. Smaller groups mean better training, attention and guidance allowing you to perfect your skills while attaining good buoyancy and confidence. Our teachers exercise calm, personal instruction and make safey a Number one priority. Call today and get your learning materials ahead of time in order to save valuable vacation time. Referrals are also welcome.

The program takes people who wish to try scuba but are unsure if they wish to take a full certification course on their first dive. Students are giving an introduction to basic scuba equipment and scuba skills followed by an underwater tour in the local marine environment.

SDI - Open Water Diver Course
The Open Water Scuba Diver course is an entry-level certification course designed to give students the necessary skills to safely conduct open water dives in conditions similar to their training without the direct supervision of an instructor. The course covers all the basic knowledge about equipment, physiology and the marine environment while training students to perform basic skills underwater.

SDI - Advanced Open Water Diver Course
The SDI Advanced Diver Development Program was created to make truly “Advanced Divers”. Under the old way of training a student could take an Advanced Course right after an Open Water course and only have a total of 9 dives all under the direct training of an instructor. The SDI Advanced Diver Development program requires a new Open Water student to take 4 SDI specialties or equivalent, along with having a total of 25 dives. SDI feels a diver will truly be “Advanced” after this is accomplished.
