The Open Water Diver Course is the very beginning of your scuba adventure and our first opportunity to introduce you to the SCUBA diving lifestyle. You’ll know why the first time you take a breath underwater. Your course begins with an at home study program either traditional books or e-learning followed by a classroom session, pool session and your first Open Water dives. These could be at the world famous Blue Heron Bridge, one of the many springs just north of Orlando or Lake Denton in Avon Park. Our instructors choose locations that will help to enhance your learning experience.
All students are responsible for purchasing course materials or e learning access codes. Those who buy traditional course materials will attend a 4-6 hour classroom review before the pool instruction. For those who prefer E-learning, a 1-2 hour classroom review covers the information from your e-learning along with basic gear set-up. Students must provide their own mask, fins, boots and snorkel. Basic Gear Packages that include these items start at $239 and the store staff or your Instructor can help you select the ones best suited to you.
Orlando Scuba and its Professional Instructors want your SCUBA diving experience to be extraordinary. Please review the Student Registration and Medical Statement (PADI, SDI) relevant to your specific certifying agency. Answering YES to any question on the medical statement doesn’t automatically disqualify you from diving. It only means there’s a condition your instructor needs to be aware of to insure your safety while SCUBA diving. If thought necessary your physician may need to sign the Physicians release portion of the medical statement prior to any in water instruction.
