Course Format – Following the completion of the online course work, you will have a minimum of 2 classroom sessions, 2 pool sessions, and two days of diving. You progress to each next step when YOU and your instructor feel you are ready. Our enjoyable “no pressure” program allows you to receive as much extra work as necessary to make you confident and comfortable and get you certified!
**E-learning portion must be completed prior to academic class!
Certification Dives – At Fun & Easy Diving we prefer to maximize your training and enjoyment by conducting your certification dives in carefully selected locations such as crystal clear freshwater springs and during spectacular dives in the Gulf of Mexico. Specific training sites are carefully chosen daily based upon student preferences and site conditions.
Certification – At the completion of the course, you will be certified to dive within recognized recreational limits. As an open water diver we can train at a max depth of 60 feet. We do strongly recommend that if you intend to regularly conduct dives below 60′ that you complete the Deep Diving specialty course or an Advanced Open Water certification. Leaving the local area or planning to travel? Your certification will be recognized and gladly accepted by dive shops, charter boats, and resorts throughout the world.
Equipment – The only equipment you will be required to provide will be your own SCUBA-Quality mask, snorkel, fins, and booties. Gloves and a 5mil wetsuit are highly recommended but not required. Please note: a minimum 5mil wetsuit is highly recommended. Since diving is supposed to be comfortable, it is recommended that you also own your personal BCD, regulator set, and computer. By owning your own personal total diving system, you can assure the fit and familiarity with your equipment is second nature with the piece of mind knowing that your quality gear has been properly maintained. We can help you find the right equipment – just give us a call.
Additional Training – Fun & Easy Diving offers a full range of courses. Whether you’re interested in Specialty, Advanced, Nitrox, or one of our many Technical courses, we offer the training program you’re looking for, and all of our courses are designed with fun and flexibility in mind.
Who can learn? – Anyone that is over the age of 10, in good health, and can swim comfortably in the water can learn to dive.
What about Medical Conditions? There are certain medical conditions or medications that can prevent a person from being able to dive safely. In some cases approval from your doctor may be required before you can be enrolled in a SCUBA training class.
