Open Water Diver & Enriched Air Nitrox
This globally recognized certification program is the best way to begin your lifelong adventures as a certified scuba diver. The SSI Open Water Diver course is broken up into three parts: academic learning, in-water pool training, and multiple open water dives to ensure you have the experience and skills necessary to become a truly comfortable and confident scuba diver.
As part of this course, you will also earn your SSI Enriched Air Nitrox certification. This course will teach you how to safely plan and dive with enriched air mixtures of up to 40% oxygen. As a Nitrox diver, you can increase your bottom times and safety margins, plus shorten your surface intervals - so you can spend more time diving and less time waiting!
What's Included: Open Water Diver and Enriched Air Nitrox online learning materials, in-person classroom training, all pool sessions, and rental scuba gear (BCD, regulator, computer, wetsuit, weights, and tanks).
What's Not Included: The entrance fee for all open water checkout dives (location varies based on weather, availability, and student preference). All students are required to have their own scuba-quality mask, fins, snorkel, booties, and a surface marker buoy. If you have the gear you would like to use for training, please bring it in before class begins to be checked.
Available group classes are listed below. Private and Semi-private courses are scheduled upon request based on instructor availability.
