The PADI Open Water Course is your first step to a lifetime of adventure! You only need your own mask, fins, snorkel, and boots for the course.
We provide everything else necessary for diving.
Pool Sessions
The pool environment is where you learn the necessary skills to become a safe and comfortable diver. We offer you an average of 8 to 12 hours in our custom designed indoor heated pool. The pool, 13 feet deep, gives you the opportunity to experience actual diving conditions as opposed to hotel or health club facilities.
Knowledge
Along with your pool lessons, you receive a diver crew pack, containing all of the materials necessary to complete your diving course. Designed as self-study, you watch the DVD and read the manual in the comfort of your home. You actually view each pool skill before entering the water which makes learning even easier!
Certification Dives
After your pool and knowledge review sessions you are ready to experience diving in the real world! You will get to make 4 dives over a two day period in beautiful Beaver Lake. We conduct these during the warmer weather to maximize your comfort! If you are traveling during the colder months we can arrange a referral so that you may complete your four open water dives at your dive destination.
