Open Water Diver Class

If you want to dive anywhere you want, with anyone you want, join the Open Water Diver program. This is your international certification to become part of an exclusive group of underwater explorers that most people only dream about joining! Learning to dive is much easier than you think.

This globally recognized certification program is the best way to begin your lifelong adventures as a certified scuba diver. Personalized training is combined with in-water practice sessions to ensure you have the skills and experience required to become truly comfortable underwater. You will earn the SSI Open Water Diver certification.

The Open Water Diver is the first scuba certification level. One of our highly-trained instructor will teach you how to scuba dive in a relaxed, supportive learning environment. By the end of the course, you will have the skills and knowledge to dive at home or abroad and explore the underwater world.

You will practice using scuba gear in a pool (or pool-like environment) until you are comfortable. Your training includes practice “mini dives” to help you build confidence in your new abilities before making four dives in open water.
