PADI Open Water Diver Class – Semi-Private

Class Description

This class is for those that can’t fit our group class schedule or would just prefer to do all the pool and academic work privately. This allows you to go at a slower (or faster) pace than being in a group. The open water dives will be done with other students but with a much smaller ratio than our group classes.
Just come in, call us or register on line for the class and we will give/send you your Open Water Manual and DVD. Read the book, watch the video and then complete the knowledge reviews at the end of each chapter.  Once you have completed the homework assignments you are ready to take the class.

Want to start right now?  You can now do all the academic work, quizzes and final exam all on line in the comfort of your home..or anywhere in the world with the PADI e-learning program. When you have completed the e-learning portion you then will only need to complete the water training with us to complete the class.

SCHEDULE:
You can start this class any day of the week that you want. The first day begins at our sister location in Key Biscayne with the pool session.  All of the basics of scuba are learnt and mastered in the pool before you progress to the ocean. The pool session takes approximately 5 hours. Please bring a bathing suit, a warm change of clothes and lunch or money for lunch. This day will be one on one with you and the instructor.

The next two days are spent diving in the ocean and will be with other students (max of 4).

Prerequisites: Must be at least 10 years old.
