OPEN WATER

As an Open Water Diver, you will know the basics of SCUBA diving. Your training will start in the classroom. Sessions in our on-site heated pool will help familiarize you with your equipment, and give you the confidence to seek out the ocean. Your training will culminate in five open water dives, where you will see first hand the ocean's wonders. Visit the silent world of inner space as only SCUBA diving can take you. See an unspoiled paradise with creatures unknown to your imagination. Basic Openwater classes starting weekly! Your journey starts here at Underwater Schools of America.

HOW MUCH IT COSTS

Underwater Schools offers the Basic Open Water class for $380.00.* This includes your tuition, books and materials, classroom and pool sessions, 5 open water dives, certification card, and use of our rental BCs, wetsuits, regualtors, weights, and tanks. You are responsible for your own basics, which are mask, fins, snorkel, hood, boots, and gloves. USA is a full-service shop offering quality products at competitive prices. Since our pool is onsite, if something doesn't fit you well, your instructor will go into the shop and find something that does fit. If you buy your gear somewhere else, you are stuck with it for at least the rest of the class.

A WORD OF CAUTION ...

Almost anyone can learn to dive, but it is important to consult the advice of a physician if you have a condition which may limit or preclude your activity underwater.

THE END IS JUST THE BEGINNING ...

Our hope is that you love to dive like we love to dive. We want to see you on our diving trips, both local and international. As an Open Water Diver, you will have set foot into a world of lifetime adventure. As your experience grows, so will your education. We have programs available from Basic Open Water all the way to becoming an instructor yourself.
