3 STEPS TO BECOMING A CERTIFIED DIVER
Becoming a certified diver is easier than you think. It just takes a few easy steps. These steps allow an easy progression into what will most likely become the greatest experience of your life.
 
STEP 1
Don’t let the word 'classroom' scare you. Classroom activities can very often be completed in one day. In the class room you will develop the knowledge needed to understand the concept, regulations and safety aspects of scuba diving. The classroom is also your first step in the familiarity and hands on training with scuba equipment. By the end of your classroom work, the excitement of finally getting in the water, leads you to your next phase...

STEP 2
In simple words, this part of your training is fun yet safe. In the pool phase, (which is usually completed in one or two days), you and your instructor will practice and develop the water skills needed to comfortably and safely enjoy scuba diving in the ocean. You will be amazed at how easy and safe scuba diving actually is. Once you've completed the pool phase, you are ready to begin the final phase...

STEP 3
This is where you see and do the things you’ve always dreamed of. This is probably the greatest sensation you will ever experience! You and your instructor will go over the skills you developed in the pool phase during these 'open water' dives. This phase is usually completed in just a few days. After the successful completion of the last open water dive, you will be awarded your certification card, good for a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. This card will be recognized all over the world as a certification that you are a safe and properly trained scuba diver.
