Our Sacramento Valley, PADI Open Water Diver Course 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 reviewnig 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 under the guidance of our professional
dive staff, trained by PADI Master Instructor, Craig Gillespie. Once completed you will be ready for Phase 2, the
ocean training dives.

you will practice the skills learned in Phase One.

or at any PADI facility in the world. We do all of our training in the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary. You
will join us for four exciting dives. Once completed you will receive the internationally recognized, PADI
