Types of Classes

We offer a wide range of classes to fit all people, whether you just want to look into diving and discover what it's like, or you're an experienced diver who wants to expand your skills.

The classes we offer include, but are not limited to:

Discover Scuba

Discover scuba gives you the chance to see what scuba diving is all about. You are allowed to dive in a pool with supervision to see if you enjoy diving.

Open Water Diver

This is the entry-level course that will prepare you for a lifetime of diving. Full certification consists of classroom time and pool sessions followed by 4 Open Water dives.

The Referral portion with classroom and pool time is popular in winter, as many people choose to do their dives somewhere warm that time of year. This class includes a referral card and use of all gear except mask and snorkel; the book kit is purchased separate.

The Open Water dives include 4 dives at the lake over a week-end. Your dive gear rental and certification card with picture are part of this package. You are required to provide mask and snorkel in the pool and add fins when we do the Open Water lake dives.

If you elect to do all your training here you may start class at any time and do your dives spring, summer, or fall. You can also sign up for one of our trips and do your dives with us then or take your paperwork on vacation for your dives. You have 1 year to complete class.

We conduct these Open Water classes at least monthly. There is a 2 week/ 3 evening per week class 6-9pm and an 8am-6pm week-end class for those with busy schedules.

Other schedules and Private classes are available.
