What to Expect

Prior to showing up for the first day of dive training, divers must complete the [digital course materials] (https://www.padi.com/courses/advanced-open-water?irra=16841), which is purchased separately through the training agency (PADI).

Our most requested class schedule/dive combo looks like this:

Day 1: Meet at shop at 7:00 to get geared up, then head down to the beach and complete navigation and three elective adventure dives.

Day 2: Check in for your deep and third elective adventure dives from one of our great boat options at 6:10. After your dives, we'll head back to the shop immediately afterwards to complete logbooks and certification details. You can plan on finishing up around 12:30.

Note: These courses typically run two days in a row, but not always. If you need special dates (for example, weekends only), please contact us and we’ll make it happen for you.
