Scuba
Diver
Thinking
of getting certified for an upcoming vacation, but don't
have the time to put into a
regular diver course? Now there's
a quick and easy program designed especially for you! This
is your chance to slap on some fins, strap on a mask and
experience an intense adventure in a short amount of time.
Why
Scuba Diver?
The Scuba Diver program is a pre-entry level certification
that is perfect for vacationers or people who only plan
to dive a couple times a year.
As a subprogram of the Open Water Diver program, the Scuba
Diver rating allows you to get certified quickly and easily
by minimizing time constraints. With the Scuba Diver certification
you can dive under the direct supervision of a Divemaster,
Assistant Instructor, Instructor or higher professional
on your next vacation or dive trip
What
do I need to start?
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit,
and comfortable in the water can earn a Scuba Diver certification.
If you are between 10 and 14 or have a child between these
ages, there is a Junior Scuba Diver program available.
What
will I do?
Throughout the course, you’ll learn fundamentals of
scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques. You
earn this rating by completing pool dives, knowledge development
sessions and by making two open water (ocean or lake) dives.
How
long will it take?
programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate
mastery of the course skills. This allows you to work at
a pace that is comfortable for you.
What
will I need?
- Open
Water Crew-Pak
- Open
Water Video or DVD

Where
can I go from here?
After completing the Scuba Diver program, you'll want to
continue your dive education and the
Open
Water Diver certification to explore more dive opportunities.
