PADI Divers carry the most respected and sought after scuba diving credentials in the world. No matter where you choose to dive, your PADI certification card will be recognized and accepted. In fact, on most scuba diving adventures, you’ll be surrounded by other PADI Divers who made the same certification choice you did – to train with the world’s largest and most respected scuba diving training organization.
Here is how it works
PART 1: REGISTER ON LINE FOR YOUR PADI OPEN WATER ELEARNING ACADEMICS.
You will learn about Scuba Equipment, Underwater Environments, and the Science behind scuba diving while completing the academic part of your Scuba Lessons in the comfort of your home or anywhere you have access to the internet.
After all why not have some fun !!!!!!
You will receive your eLearning Academics class within 24 hours of your registration.
AFTER YOU COMPLETE YOUR ELEARNING ACADEMICS IT IS TIME TO START THE PRACTICAL PART (PART II) OF YOUR SCUBA LESSONS.
Your Practical Training Includes:
Orientation Webinar - This is the kickoff of Part II of your Scuba lessons. At the orientation webinar we review all the details for your scuba lessons, meet the other students, and review important scuba concepts.
Confined Water/Pool Dives - This is where you learn how to dive. During the confined water sessions you will learn how to use Scuba Equipment and perform the various underwater Scuba skills.
Open Water Checkout Dives - There are four required check out dives conducted over two days. During check out dives you will use the scuba skills you learned in the pool in an open water environment. We will schedule your checkout dives during your scuba lessons.
You have several options for your check out dives. After all we want to make this as fun and easy as possible.
Option 1: 2 days of check out dives in our local quarry: admission fees to our local rock quarries currently running $25 per person day. With this option you will earn your Open Water Diver Certification.
Option 2: 1 day of check out dives in our local quarry followed by one two tank Carolina Coast boat charter. With this option you will earn your Open Water Diver Certification and get practical training diving in the Ocean from a boat. You are responsible for the boat charter fee.
Option 3 : We offer check-out dives on our group trips to warmer waters of the Caribbean or Florida, but you would be expected to pay your own transport, lodging, etc.
Option 4: A Referral to any PADI Dive Shop so you can complete your checkout dives on vacation. Please note that the Dive Shop you are going to will have an additional fee for checkout dives.
We offer Part II of your Scuba Lessons year round on both a weeknight and weekend schedule.
