  OPEN WATER COURSES

...back to Learn Scuba

Continuous Evening Classes
The Open Water Course, is PADI’s main entry level certifying course. Upon completion of the course you will receive a certification card from PADI valid at dive stores and resorts worldwide. The course is made up of 5 class and pool sessions, and 4 ocean dives. The Open Water Course is presented in a convenient modular format, with class and pool sessions on evenings during the week and ocean dives on the weekend. The course is very flexible, and can be completed in two weeks or take as long as a year... it’s really up to you.
All of the SCUBA equipment is included in the course price, as is the training manual, dive table and PADI certification. Courses begin weekly.

Course Price: $349.95

SCUBA equipment does not include personal gear (mask, snorkel, fins, boots and gloves), which may be rented for an additional $50. The $50 can also be credited towards the purchase of your own personal gear. Talk to Dive Shop staff for details.

Weekends Only Semi-Private
This PADI open water course is designed for those who have a busy weekday evening schedule and who would prefer to learn at a faster pace with a smaller group of students. The classroom and pool training dives will be completed over one weekend while the 4 ocean dives can be done over two weekend days that are convenient for the student. All scuba equipment is provided as well as all training materials, dive tables and certification. Call for start dates.


Course Price: $449.95

Private Fast Track
The Fast Track program is designed for customers who need to learn how to dive NOW, or, as quickly as possible. Essentially, it is the entire Open Water course in two or three days, with private instruction. Students are given the training materials beforehand, and are expected to have completed all the reading and academics on their own. From there, one of our PADI Instructors will review the material with you, and complete all the pool and ocean dives in two to three days. Once again, all training materials and equipment rentals are included in the course price, and the course itself is provided on an on-demand basis (max. of two students per course).

Course Price: $599.95 for one student
$569.95 each for two students

Open Water Variations: Dry Suit Training
The Diving Locker also offers the option to use a drysuit instead of a wetsuit for your two days of ocean diving. The upgrade cost also includes an additional evening of training, including a pool session, to learn how to properly care for and use the suit. Please note that module #5 must be completed prior to your drysuit training! The training session also enables you to rent drysuits from dive stores for future diving.

Upgrade Price:$69.95 for two ocean dives
$99.95 for all four ocean dives

Scuba Diver Course
The Scuba Diver certification is similar to the existing Open Water Course, except there are only three class and pool sessions (Modules 1-3), and the first two ocean dives. Upon completion, students receive a ‘Scuba Diver’ certification, which has certain restrictions placed upon it: a max. depth limit of 40 feet, and you must always dive with a PADI Divemaster or Instructor. This certification is designed for divers who plan to do most of their diving in the tropics with a professional guide. The course price includes all training materials and SCUBA equipment rentals, and can be upgraded within twelve months of certification to a full Open Water Certification. Courses run in conjunction with the Open Water Course

Course Price: $249.95 (upgrade to Open Water Certification $189.95)

SCUBA gear does not include mask, snorkel, fins, boots or gloves (personal gear), which may be rented for an additional $30. The $30 can also be credited towards the purchase of your own personal gear. Talk to Dive Shop staff for details.

Tropical Referrals
Designed for those divers who wish to complete their class and pool sessions here, but prefer to do their ocean dives in a warmer climate. Because the PADI system is taught worldwide, you can complete your training anywhere in the world as long as it’s done through a PADI certified Instructor (please note that you will have to pay extra for the completion of your course at whatever rates the receiving resort has set). The course includes the first five class and pool sessions, as well as all the training materials, and SCUBA* equipment rentals. Alternately, if you are looking to complete your Open Water Certification here (you have been referred from a different PADI Instructor), and wish to complete your ocean dives, we can do that too! Courses are run in conjunction with the Open Water Course.

Course Price: $219.95
Referral Upgrade: $199.95
