Certification Overview
Certification Step 1& 2: Open Water Referral - E-Learning + Pool
Certification Step 3: Open Water Checkout Dives
Open Water Checkout Dives
The open water checkout dives are completed in the open water - like a lake or ocean. We do our dives in a safe and fun group environment at Flamborough Lake, where we built our very own underwater 20×20 training platform.
During the open water checkout dives, your instructor will demonstrate, practice, and test you on the skills learned in Steps 1 & 2: the Open Water Referral course. Once you have successfully completed four dives, you will officially be an Open Water Diver. How exciting is that?!
On-the-go or can’t make it on weekends? Give us a call to inquire about private scuba lessons!
