Getting SCUBA certified is as easy as 1,2,3! 

1.  You will begin the eLearning process online with a PC, mobile device, or tablet.

2. The next step will be to complete your 4 in-water skill-development training. This takes place in a swimming pool or similar body of confined water, under the supervision of an SDI Instructor. 

3.  The final step is to complete the required number of SDI open-water training dives under the supervision of your SDI Instructor. Here you will apply what you have learned during your academic and skill-development sessions, while learning practical lessons that can only be gained through real-world experience in open water.

Once you have successfully completed the above requirements you will be able to dive up to depths of 60 feet and will be able to continue your diving experiences with other specialties such as Advanced Adventure diver!! Ask your Instructor for more information.

Illness or the inability to perform the necessary skills may delay certification. If we cannot for any reason complete the certification during the 3-day timeframe, we will continue the certification process at a later date. Certification is pending completion of the confined water skills, open water skills and eLearning.**
