Welcome to the Underwater world!
Learn the basics and begin investigating the secrets of the sea.

This is the entry level program through which most people begin the adventure of diving.

Learning to dive consists of two phases.

Phase One: Knowledge Development & Pool Training.
(Tropical Referral Certification Course)
Here you gain the Knowledge and skills necessary for safe diving. This is often referred to as the "Referral Program". This begins with you reviewing an enjoyable, Home Study program.  Once the home studies are completed, you are eligible to join any of our pool training sessions.  In the pool session you will have time to become comfortable with the diving equipment.  Once completed you will be ready for Phase 2, the ocean training dives.

Phase Two: Open Water, Ocean Training Dives.
In the ocean training dives you will participate in four dives. Under the guidance of a professional diving instructor, you will practice the skills learned in Phase One.pinkstar.jpg

You can complete the Phase Two training with us here in the Seattle area, or at any PADI facility in the world.  In Seattle we do all of our beginner training at one of the Northwest's most popular dive sites in West Seattle.  You will join us for four exciting dives.  Once completed you will receive the internationally recognized, PADI "Open Water Diver Certification"   and you will be ready to join the adventure that is diving! gruntsculpin.jpg

Tropical Referral Certification Course
(Complete Phase One, Knowledge Development & Pool training, here at home and be ready for the Phase Two, ocean training when you go on vacation.)

Through our Tropical Resort Certification Program you don't have to spend your valuable vacation time sitting in a classroom. Begin your dive training with our Home Study program, in your free time, in your own home.  You should plan to spend 15 to 20 hours on the home studies. 

Upon completion of the Home Studies you will join us in the pool for an introduction to the equipment.  Subsequent to the pool session there will be an evening classroom review session of the Home Studies.  That review session is about two hours and is usually held the Friday evening following the pool training.

At the end of the evening review you will then be ready to complete the ocean training.  You have one year to complete the training and can choose any PADI Resort in the world to finish the program. With thousands of Resorts
to choose from worldwide, you can pick the destination of your dreams at which to go diving.

Fees for the ocean training dives will vary widely and will be levied by the resort at which you choose to do the training.  We can supply you with list of PADI training facilities in the destination of your choice.  You will be responsible for making arrangements for your training dives and for all fees incured in said training.
