The Home Study Option for the Scuba Diver Certification Course is for the student who may not have 2 full weekends to take the standard course. The Openwater text or CD-ROM are reviewed at your leisure in the comfort of your home. All Pool and Openwater sessions are completed once you have finished the study materials. We offer PADI certifications.

The HOME STUDY Program Consists of three areas of training:

Home Study:
There are two options for home study, a text book or CD-ROM for the computer and videos. In either case you need to review all the study materials and complete the knowledge reviews from text or CD-ROM prior to continuing to the pool sessions. Your Instructor will review the quizzes with you to identify any areas that may need additional lectures prior to taking the final written exams.

Pool Training:
In this part of the program we start with basic swim and snorkel skills and then move into the use of scuba equipment. Your instructor(s) are in the pool with you at all times and there is continuous student- instructor contact. We cover everything from equipment hook-up through the point where the student is ready for the Open Water Skill Evaluation. The training is based on performance requirements and your personal learning curve. There is no guarantee that student will not need additional training prior to the Openwater Dives.

At this point in your traing you are eligible to complete you Openwater training dives at a tropical destination or continue with us in beautiful Monterey California.

Openwater Training Dives:
This is the final step of your course and is completed in just two days. It is a repetition of all the skills learned in the pool but now they are performed in the open water. Upon completing the check-out dives successfully you will receive your PADI Certification.
