Scuba Instruction F.A.Q.
How much does it cost?
The Group class is $250 and meets 2 nights a week for 3 weeks from 7-10pm. Our Executive Class is $450 and can be completed in a week or less or, at your convenience.
What type of certification will I receive?
There are five major training agencies that issue scuba certifications, National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI), Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), Scuba Diving International (SDI), Scuba Schools International (SSI) and Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA). All of these certifications are recognized worldwide. One is not better or worse than any other. The certification that you receive here at The Scuba Club will be dependent on which instructor teaches the class and which training agency he is affiliated with. Again, any certification you receive here at The Scuba Club will be good wherever your travels may take you.
What equipment do I have to purchase?
None. Our Openwater class includes the use of all equipment, including the latest in mask, fins, and snorkels. We believe that it's better to use different types of equipment in the water before you make the decision to purchase. You can really discover what is best for you. Everything in our Pro Shop is available for you to try before you buy. Can any other store make that claim?
Where do we take the pool classes?
The pool classes are conducted right here at The Scuba Club! We have two different pools where you'll develop your skills. That means no hauling wet equipment back and forth from the pool to the dive shop since everything is at one location!
Where do we do the Openwater dives?
The Openwater training dives depart from The Scuba Club on our boat which is docked at our facility. They are conducted in the ocean at several dive sites ranging in depth from 30'-60'.
Why should I learn at The Scuba Club as opposed to the other guys?
