If you are ready to become a SCUBA diver, the PADI Open Water  Certification is the first step. Upon completion of your Open Water Course, you are now eligible to continue your diving education with specialty courses as well as working towards Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver and beyond!

​

We offer three paths for people wanting to become PADI Open Water Certified:​ All of these options include an eLearning portion that we will review before our confined water (pool) sessions and can be private or semi-private depending on your preferences.

​

1. VIP - Fully customizable concierge dive instruction combined with a week of diving in Bonaire, the shore diving capital of the world! Complete your confined water skills in a private pool and travel to Bonaire to complete your open water skills (1 1/2 days). Once you are certified, I will lead guided dives everyday for the remainder of the week. Certain specialty certifications  can be added  for the price of the eLearning alone. This is a full immersion into the world of dive travel. (Limit: 4 divers per trip.)

​

2. Go Local - Not ready to take the plunge into dive travel? Go Local may be the right fit for you. All confined water skills will be conducted in a private setting. However, your open water skills will be conducted in a local lake or quarry, depending on conditions and availability.

 

3. Referral - Do you already have a tropical vacation planned? Just like the VIP and Go Local options all of your confined water skills are conducted in a private pool.  Once you have completed the confined water requirements, I will send your training records to a PADI dive center at your destination, where they will handle your open water skills training to complete your certification. (Subject to availability of PADI Certified Dive Centers at your vacation destination.)
