PADI Open Water Course Referrel: Academics and Pool
PADI Open Water Academics and Pool. This includes tuition, materials, pool training. Add PADI eLearning in order to complete the academics portion entirely at home at your own pace. With eLearning you have to option to skip the in-class academics session. Click here. Each student will need their own personal gear (Mask, snorkel, fins, and booties and if you plan on doing your dives in the temperate water of Monterey or Lake Tahoe, 3mm gloves) Personal gear starts at approximately $190. It is highly recommended you do not borrow older gear or purchase it sight-unseen off the internet. Your personal gear is now part of your life support system and should be fitted by a dive professional. Cheap snorkeling gear simply will not do. We meet or beat internet pricing and offer a fit guarantee. If your mask doesn't fit, we will keep trying others until it does. Be sure to allow yourself enough time before class to complete the independent study or eLearning. It is several hours of study. Click here for the PADI medical questionnaire to make sure you have no "Yes" answers. If you do, you will need to print out the form and have a doctor sign you off before participating in any diving activities. If they are all "No" answers, you do not need to do anything. We will have a short form for you the day of class.
