ENTRY LEVEL

Discover a whole new world. You will meet new people and learn new skills while you become a safe and comfortable diver.
This course consists of 3 separate sections:
  • Knowledge Development which encourages independent study
  • Pool Dives which include skill practice based on performance rather than time
  • Open Water Training Dives where you perform your newly acquired skills in an actual diving environment such as a lake.


  • This specific teaching model has been found to work well with today's busy lifestyle while still providing each person with an effective personalized learning experience.


    We offer a variety of convenient scheduling options for all three sections of the course.
