Private Certification Programs

The Scuba Schools Group offers a full range of private and small group SCUBA Certification programs. Our PADI Open Water Diver Program is the safest, most convenient method of learning to dive available. It gives you the ability to complete all the academic requirements for the dive class, on your own time, in your own home. Then you can complete the water training either on one of our Scuba Schools Group training excursions, or you can take it to many PADI facilities throughout the world to complete the training while on vacation. Hundreds of people a year choose this Home Study option when learning to dive with us. It saves your valuable vacation time from being spent sitting in a classroom.

If participating in the water training at a Scuba Schools facility in Seattle, San Francisco Bay Area or Monterey, you also have the option to arrange your own training dates through our Private Diver Program. The Private programs require only two days to two and one half days to complete. Scheduling will depend upon where you choose to participate in the pool training. For these programs you tell us what training dates you have available and we will arrange a program to suit your needs. If you are pressed for time, or just want the most personalized program available, you might want to consider our Semi Private or Private Diver programs.
