Through our Home Study Program you will begin your diving class at home prior to your trip to Florida. Under the sanction of the worlds largest diver training organization, our PADI Open Water Diver Program begins with you reviewing a fully interactive CD-ROM, Home Study program. (Also available in text/video format). The Home Study module takes most divers from 8 to 10 hours total study time.

Upon completion of the Home Studies you will be eligible to participate in the pool & ocean training portions of the program. We can arrange training to fit your vacation scheduled in Florida. Our Florida training sessions are extremely small, only four divers per group, so you will receive a lot of personalized attention and we know you will have a lot of fun.

If you live near one of our west coast training centers in the Seattle / Tacoma area, Portland / Salem area, or the San Francisco Bay area, you can begin the water training by participating in the pool training session prior to your trip to Florida. Our pool training session will require one session of approximately 4 to 6 hours. You will then be ready to go straight into the boat diving excursions in Florida

If it is not convenient for you to participate in the pool training prior to your trip to Florida, we can make arrangements for you to participate in the pool training, and ocean training both during your stay in the Keys.

Under the guidance of PADI Course Director, Sally Siebert, you will participate in two days of the best boat diving Florida has to offer. You will do at least four, exciting Open Water dives. When those dives have been completed you will be issued the PADI Open Water Diver certification, the most widely recognized diver certification in the world today.
