The majority of the academic work will be completed on your own. There is a DVD to watch and a book with
Knowledge Reviews that must be completed prior to the class. The information on the DVD will complement
and reinforce what you read in the book. During the class you'll meet with your Instructor who will review your
Knowledge Reviews and explain any information you didn’t fully understand. You will also complete four
ten-question quizzes and one fifty-question final exam on the information you’ve learned. At that point we'll fit
you for a wetsuit, buoyancy compensator, and get you geared up for the diving that comes next.
Following the class we'll meet at the pool to review thirteen separate skills before we venture out in the ocean. The pool session normally takes four to five hours to complete depending on class size. As a final step in your Open Water Diver Certification, we take you on four ocean dives conducted over two days.
On the ocean dives we will practice some of the skills we worked on in the pool.
At that point you're a certified diver, and welcomed at any dive shop on the planet!
