Scuba Certification – Open Water Diver Course at The Dive Shop On McEver

In our Scuba certification course that we teach, you learn more than a new set of skills. You learn when and how to use them.  You master basic fundamentals first and build upon them gradually so you don’t feel rushed.  Instead, you feel confident and comfortable. You learn at your own pace– however fast or slow
Be prepared to laugh and smile a lot. And, don’t be surprised if you come away absolutely thrilled. Scuba diving does that to people.

Please Note
****SCUBA Quality Mask, Fins, and Snorkel Must be used in all dive classes****
****Snorkeling Quality personal gear will NOT be Accepted****

Step Three:

Equipment- A couple days before your Saturday pool session, come in to get fitted for S.C.U.B.A. equipment. (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus). This is also when you select your personal gear.

Personal Equipment includes Mask, Fins, Snorkel, Wet suit boots, and Wet suit
– Wet suits are available to rent for $25/day or purchase starting at $129

– we ask that you have your own personal gear to help build your comfort and to add to your enjoyment of the diving course, wet suits are required, we ask that you have one so that you will be comfortable during the 7-8 hours/day of pool time – the pool is kept at 86* for classes but you will become chilled even at this temperature – in water your body looses heat 25 times faster than in air.
