Diver certification
that is recognized worldwide. You earn this rating by
completing five pool dives and knowledge development
sessions and by making four open water dives.
As a certified PADI
Open Water Diver you have the freedom to dive with a buddy
independent of a professional. If you already tried a PADI
Discover Scuba Diving experience or are PADI Scuba Diver
certified, check with your instructor to see how credit
from these courses may apply to the open water program.
Your underwater adventure can begin as soon as today with
the new PADI Open Water Diver Video and interactive
CD-ROM! You can view these materials at home, at your own
pace and then meet with an instructor for further
assistance. Open water learning options also include group
or private instruction. This course offers tremendous
flexibility and lets you work out individual needs with
your instructor. Open
Water Certification - Equipment If
you do not already have snorkeling equipment, let us fit
you properly with our equipment. We guarantee the
fit of everything we sell for each of our students.
If you are uncomfortable with anything we have sold you
for our classes, we try other styles to make sure you are
properly fitted and comfortable with your personal
snorkeling equipment. From our most economical
package (about $180.00) to our most expensive package, you
cannot make a mistake when purchasing your instructional
equipment from us. Properly cared for it will give
you a life-time of fun and service. In
requiring the use of our scuba equipment for all training,
we ensure that you are properly fitted with the same
equipment everyone else in your class is using. This
results in a safer experience for everyone in the
class. We regularly maintain our equipment so no
time is lost in class due to equipment problems. You
will use the top of the line equipment - not cheap lower
end "rental" models in class. Since we
require that you use our equipment for training, we offer
you a way to apply the rental cost of this equipment
toward the purchase of your own equipment. Ask your
instructor for details on this program. Open
Water Certification - Checkout Trips As
part of your Open Water Training, you are required to do
two days of diving in open water with your
instructor. Since virtually all scuba diving is done
from boats in salt water, we have elected to conduct our
training dives in Destin, Florida in the Gulf of Mexico
from privately chartered boats. We meet in Destin,
Florida Saturday morning and do our first two dives,
and on Sunday morning to complete the final two dives. We return
to New Orleans on Sunday afternoon. Open
