If you’ve always wanted to take scuba diving lessons, experience unparalleled adventure and see the world beneath the waves, this is where it starts. Get your scuba diving certification with the PADI Open Water Diver course – the world’s most popular and widely recognized scuba course. Millions of people have learned to scuba dive and gone on to discover the wonders of the aquatic world through this course.

The Certification Process

Open water certification is broken up into 3 sections:

  1. Classroom: knowledge development where we discuss the science and theory behind scuba diving.
  2. Confined Water: where we take the knowledge you learned and take it to the pool to practice skills.
  3. Open Water: Final step of the certification where what you’ve learned all comes together in 6 dives! Other shops will only do 4 dives loaded with skills, leaving no time for fun and exploration.

You have the option of completing your entire certification with us or we can give you a referral to complete your open water dives at any destination in the world (referral is most popular option during the Ohio winter season).

Qualifications

To enroll in a PADI Open Water Diver course or Junior Open Water Diver course, you must be 10 years old or older. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with scuba diving is required.
