We accept referral forms from other scuba dive shops to help you finish the remainder skills for certifications.

- For more information, email [email protected] or call 808-922-2121.
- The PADI Open Water Diver course is, by far, the world’s most popular scuba certification course. Millions of people have started diving as certified PADI Open Water Divers. Learning to scuba dive requires both knowledge development (facts, principles, and concepts) and dive skills (techniques and methods). The PADI Open Water Diver Course online provides the knowledge development portion you need.

- All Gear included for all of our students, just let us know your shoe side and T-shirt size. We will have your gear ready to try and ensure fitting
What do you need to know and do:
- You are required to complete the first 4 chapters of knowledge development in the E-learning and be prepared to come to the first class (confined water class at $250). You may not be accepted into the class if you do not finish the required portion of the E-learning. If you are planning your first confined water class, beware that free change or cancellation is 48 hours prior. No refund will be given but you may standby for the next open spot for the same class.
- Please arrive all your classes on time. After 15 minutes from the scheduled check-in time, the class will begin regardless. Full class charge will incur.
- You must complete all the E-learning before attending your last open water 3+4 class. You do not need to complete the final on-line exam by the last open water 3+4 class

- The PADI Rescue Diver course consists of an introduction followed by five easy-to-learn sections.
