HOW IT WORKS
Learning to scuba dive requires both knowledge development (facts, principles, concepts) and physical procedures (skills, techniques, methods).
1
Open Water Academics:
The beginning diver must master the science that governs scuba in order to understand the limitations nature places on the diver, and the equipment required. So first things first, you need to do is learn. To do this PADI has an online elearning course that has videos and all the required tests and learning baked into one place.
Confined Water Training
At this point we will go to the dive shop and get your gear. There are 5 confined water dives we need to do. These are done at the nearby pool and here is where the real fun begins. You get to learn how to set up and adjust your equipment and how to handle it underwater. You'll learn how to become weightless and fly, at will, in any direction. The feeling will give a new definition to the word "Awesome".

Open Water Training
The open water dives consistent of 4 dives. For these we jump on a boat and head out into the blue ocean on a local reef. You'll be executing some skill exercises and touring the ocean underwater environment. You'll see how easy and fun it is to fly over the landscape in a fluid sky. You'll be amazed by how much life and color there is to see. Now you know why you always wanted to do this! These dives are your final review where we go over the skills you have learned in the pool and put them to the test. (These are done over two days)
