New Class Pool Sessions Start

This Program makes it possible for you to complete all of the academic requirements for your entry-level diver certification on line. You can get started right now and, when you are done, complete your in-water skill-development sessions and final open-water training with us here, close to home, or at a popular vacation destination.

Getting your entry-level diver certification is a three-step process:

1. Acquire all of the important academic information every certified diver must know. (This is the underwaterhttp://www.1877scubausa.com/old_1877_site_files/images/00651.jpg equivalent of a student pilot going through “ground school.”) Traditionally, this required attending several hours of formal classroom training. Now, through on-line training, you can complete this phase through self-study, at your own pace, in the convenience of your home or office.

2. Complete your in-water skill-development training. This takes place in a swimming pool or similar body of confined water. Here you will learn the fundamental skills that every diver needs to know. (It’s also a lot of fun.)

3. Complete four or more open-water training dives under the supervision of your SDI Instructor. Here you will apply what you have learned during your academic and skill-development sessions, while learning practical lessons that can only be gained through real-world experience in open water.
