PADI, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, is the largest recreational diving member and diver training organization in the world. Our experience with PADI includes more than a decade of teaching and certifying divers at all levels of ability. During this time, we have trained hundreds of divers who have successfully completed all of PADI's requirements for open water, advanced open water, and rescue diver certifications.
This course is a complete 3 - 5 day comprehensive, hands-on, performance-based course designed to ensure that students become competent and safe scuba divers. The course consists of academic theory, confined water training in our 12-meter swimming pool, and four open water dives. Divers are required to perform a 200 meter swim test and 10 minute tread. Upon completing the course, divers receive a license to dive that is valid for a lifetime. Each PADI Open Water Certification course includes all necessary training materials (PADI manual, log book, and recreational dive planner), delicious snacks, cold beverages, and a hot water shower after each dive.

Before diving, every new (non–certified) diver must complete, sign, and provide to us our one-page Personal Medical Questionnaire endorsed by PADI. Divers responding "yes" for any medical condition also must provide before diving, a copy of our downloadable Medical Statement signed by a physician indicating "no medical conditions incompatible with diving."
