About

Learning to dive is one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Earning your PADI certification will forever change the way you see the world, both above and below the surface. A PADI Open Water certification is the world’s most popular and widely recognized scuba course with 28 million PADI-certified divers worldwide.

Interested in learning to scuba dive? You’ve come to the right place. Scuba lessons unlock the door to new adventures and amazing animal encounters. By the end of your scuba certification course, you’ll see our ocean planet through new eyes. A scuba diving certification, also known as an Open Water Diver certification, allows you to dive anywhere in the world. Similar to driving a car, scuba diving requires specific knowledge, skills, and training. A PADI Open Water Diver certification allows you to seek adventure anywhere where there’s water.

During our time together we will complete four open water dives and a confined water training session. Certification means you know how to properly use hand signals, read your pressure and depth gauge, how each piece of equipment works, and what to do when faced with a challenging situation. Prior to these training dives, you will complete the PADI online E-learning by signing up for the PADI Open Water Diver course.

With a group size of one or two students, we can typically complete the four open water dives and a confined water training session within two long days. With a group size of more than two students, three days is typically required.
