The open water part is 4 dives usually done over one weekend. These dives will be done in the ocean, or in the surrounding lakes. There are three ways to complete your opewater dives. You can do your dives with us, just schedule the for some time in the spring, or for a small additional fee, we will train you in the use of a dry suit and get you certified right away.

Advanced Open Water- The Advanced Open Water course is all about experience. It's what we like to call, "A years worth of experience in five dives".
