Open Water Certification Dives

Once you have completed the classroom and pool work, the only remaining step is the best one of all: it's time to go diving! To complete the check-out dive required for certification, we offer three options:
  1. Complete the dives locally over two half-days on a weekend in a quarry;
  2. Join us on one of our monthly SCUBA open water certification dive trips to Grand Cayman Island - offered at the end of each course for finishing requirements in the ultimate diving environment;
  3. Complete the dives on your personal vacation at your preferred destination by obtaining a student referral form from your instructor.
