Open Water Training Dives

Finally! This is what you have studied and mastered your skills for, the open water training dives. You'll join your instructor at the lake and get practical diving experience putting those skills to work. Your instructor will evaluate your mastery of some of the skills you learned in the pool, teach you the basics of navigation, and take you on a short exploration of the dive site, looking for various fish and exploring the many things sunk in the dive park.

Once you complete your open water training and pass all your skills you'll be a certified Open Water Diver and ready to begin exploring the underwater world!

*For a complete certification you must also complete a Confined Water Class prior to the Open Water Dives.

Prerequisites

  • Completed Confined Water training, either with us or as a referral
  • Student must be at least 10 years old (students under 15 will receive a Junior Open Water Diver certification and those older an Open Water Diver certification).
  • Good health, reasonable fitness and comfort in the water.
  • A Medical Questionnaire must be completed by all participants proir to inwater activities.
  • Some participants may require their Physician's approval prior to any in-water activities.

Required Equipment

Students must own their own scuba quality personal gear (mask, snorkel, fins, and boots) prior to class. This is essential gear every diver should own to ensure proper fit and comfort. We offer a student discount off the purchase of all four items when purchased prior to your class. Our staff will work with each student to ensure the best purchase. We'll explain features, describe differences between styles, and be mindful of your budget.

Asside from your personal gear we provide all the other basic gear you'll need for your scuba experience, including rental BCD, regulator, computer, tank, and weights. However, we do not provide rental wetsuits, they can be purchased from us or rented at the lake if needed.

Recommended Supplimental Courses

This class will teach you all the basics of scuba diving, but there are two additional courses we encourage all new divers to consider (we offer a discount if you add-on one these courses to your open water course, call for details):

  • Advanced Buoyancy Control
    This class takes extra time to go beyond the basic mastery of Buoyancy and really help you dial in your weighting and trim. This course can be completed during your Open Water Training with just one additional dive.
  • Enriched Air Nitrox
    Water longer dive limits at depth? Discover the benefits of diving with enriched air (Nitrox), we think every new diver should get certified in it's use.
