CLASS Descriptions

Open Water Scuba Diver

Scuba Diver provides the fundamental knowledge and skills to scuba dive. Upon successful completion of this course a certification card will be issued. This card will be necessary to purchase compressed air, rent equipment, or engage in diving activities provided the conditions are similar to those of your training.

Certification classes are completed on three nights a week for three weeks including classroom and pool sessions. Two dives are completed in a spring for easy orientation and the learning of snorkeling skills. Two final dives are completed in the gulf for boat diving experience and final diving skills. We also offer Weekend courses which are completed on Saturdays and Sundays that last about 3 weekends. We are able to adjust some scheduling to fit your needs if possible.

Scuba Haven provides: tanks, regulators (with octopus and gauges), buoyancy control device (BCD), wet suit (if necessary), compass, air, open water manual, dive tables, and certification. Student provides their own personal gear (mask, snorkel, fins, boots, weight and weight belt). Call now to reserve your spot in available classes!

Advanced Open Water (may be taken with Nitrox at the same time)
