Learn To Dive
 PADI Open Water Diver Program
This is your first step in exploring the underwater world. The PADI open water diver program (Click here to learn more about PADI) will teach you everything you need to know to safely conduct dives in water up to 60ft deep. The course is conducted in a relaxed and fun atmosphere where students are encouraged to learn at their own pace. The three components of the course (academics, pool training dives, and ocean dives) are designed to build skills and confidence.

For those on a tight schedule academics can be done at home via video tapes, DVD, or CD-ROM!
