We
will meet in street clothes at 2 PM in the conference room before going
to the pool. Each class will begin with a review and elaboration
of the current chapter and a short quiz, before heading to the pool for
diving practice. Bring a swimsuit, towel, and padlock for your locker.
We can supply all your diving equipment. It's very important that you
attend all classes, as they must be completed in order. If you miss a
session, it may be made up at one of our other locations at no additional
charge or you may take a private make-up classes at $20/hour. Your
home study materials will consist of either the PADI manual & video,
or CD-ROM. These may be purchased before classes begins or the first
night of class. Family members may share study materials. Knowledge reviews
should be completed before each class.
After completing classroom and pool sessions, you will need to do four open water dives. These dives are scheduled at various times(check our calendar). You also have the option to get a referral to do your dives at another time and place, such as on your next tropical vacation.
