Open Water Diver  

Your PADI certification can start today, call us or come by. (806) 359-DIVE (3483)

We’re happy to hear you’re interested in becoming one of the thousands of people who learn to scuba dive each year. Diving is stimulating, rewarding, relaxing...and fun!

Let us show you how to get started in diving. Our PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) course will provide you with the knowledge to safely enjoy the recreation of scuba diving. You will be introduced to the world underwater and will learn how to adapt yourself to it through the proper use of diving equipment, skills, and safety procedures. Upon completion you will receive a PADI International Certification Card (C-Card) that will allow you dive throughout the world by letting you rent scuba gear, take dive trips and get air fills.

This primer will give you information about our regularly scheduled classes. Private and special group lessons are available upon request. Should you have questions about our classes or services, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

                   

                                                   Minimum students are (2) for class. 

          Course Structure

1. The PADI Open Water Diver course is:

  1. Performance-based. This means that you can progress by meeting learning requirements.

  2. Divided into three segments:

    1. Knowledge Development (online class),

    2. Confined Water Dives (pool),

    3. Open Water Dives (Blue Hole) or Student Referral.

2. The course is taught in five confined water dives and five knowledge development sections (three each for Scuba Diver). You meet the requirements for each before moving on to the next.

3. You’ll complete most of your knowledge development at your own convenience.

4. We’ll make four scuba open water dives together (two for Scuba Diver), during which you’ll apply what you’ve learned, plus develop some new skills. But we’ll spend a good bit of time exploring and looking around, too.

Option 2   (Referral)

What Is an Open Water Referral Course?:

Open Water Referral Program

Open water referral courses in segments allow student divers to complete their training in distinct segments. Students enrolling in a referral course finish all theory and pool work at home with a local dive shop. The local shop issues the students referral forms, which a different dive shop uses to verify the students' training before allowing them to complete their open water check out dives at another location.
