If you swim and have tried snorkeling before, then the next logical step in your underwater journey is SCUBA!
The PADI Scuba Diver certification opens the door on the underwater world for anyone who's thought that a course would take too long or be too difficult.
What's the difference between the 1-weekend Scuba Diver vs 2-weekend Open Water?
When you earn the Scuba Diver certification, you'll earn a lifetime certification that's to maximum depth of 40ft while under supervision.
So if you only plan to go diving once or twice a year on vacation, or if you have limited time and can't commit to two weekends, then this one weekend life-time certification is for you.
Upgrade later? Yes, you can upgrade to the PADI Open Water Diver level at a later time. Since you'll be at the Scuba Diver level, all you have to complete is the second weekend.
Before your Saturday of pool training, you'll need to complete 5-6 hours of homework.
Then we'll take what you've learned in the pool & classroom, and apply your new skills in the ocean at Catalina or Anacapa Island. Yes, your boat ticket is included.
For both days bring food, water, sunscreen, a towel, wind-breaker jacket and cash to tip the boat crew on Sunday.
Total Commitment: One full weekend (Saturday and Sunday) +5-6 hours of homework before the weekend. Also, plan to come in to the dive center before the course for sizing.
