Some of the questions that I get are: how much does it cost, how is a class taught, how long is the class, and what if I already have a mask, snorkel, and fins?
Let me answer these common questions about our scuba diving certification programs.
Our Class Options
Choose the learning format that works best for you
Standard Class Structure
- We meet 2 times a week for 3 weeks , then go to the open water for 2 days (approximately 4 hours each day)
- The class will alternate between classroom and pool sessions
- Pool work can typically be completed in 2 pool sessions depending on class size (we'll work until both of us feel comfortable with your skills)
- Class includes air and life support equipment for pool and open water sessions (if done locally)
Option 1: Face to Face
