SCUBA training is through Professional Association of Diving Instructors or PADI. There are two common ways to conduct the accademic portion. First is the Crew Pack. This pack includes a multi media DVD, student folder, log book and dive table. Your training is self paced and when you have completed it we proctor the final exam. The second, is to enroll in PADI””s on line open water course. To find this go to their web site www.padi.com and look for the online registration. This too is self paced and when completed print the certification of completion and bring it in. Next we move on to the pool modules which are conducted on site in our heated and covered pool. The tasks performed in the pool are the same as viewed in the training material. Each student performs at different levels and acheives mastery of the skills differently. Our seasoned instructors understand this and encourage students to push past their anxiety. When each student has reached a level of comfort with each task we move on to the next one. Once past the pool modules we move onto the open water check dive. This dive is repetative of the pool sessions with a little fun mixed in. We highly encourage the student to stay with one instructor throuhout their training process, however if the student so desires an referal may be made on behalf of the student and the check out dive may be made at any PADI center of their choosing.
