About

This handy alternative route allows you to eliminate study time from your vacation by completing all of the classroom theory in advance, so while you are on holiday, you can focus on the fun part of getting under water and exploring everything to be found beneath the water's surface!

Instead of spending 4-5 days of your holiday studying and practicing scuba skills in a pool, you'll arrive with the majority of your PADI Open Water Diver Course already complete.

What makes it even better is that you can get started today - right now!

We also accept referral students wishing to complete their Open Water Ocean Training Dives with us, here in Monterey Bay! The cost is the same, whether you are beginning or completing you course with us.

Private classes are available by request.

The Open Water Diver course consists of three phases:

1. Knowledge Development to understand basic principles of scuba diving
2. Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba skills
3. Open Water Dives to use your skills and explore!
