+not be able to accommodate you.**

- Day 2: 7 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. meet at the dive site and finish up at the shop afterwards
What to Expect
Prior to showing up for the first day of dive training, divers must complete the digital course materials, which is purchased separately through the training agency (PADI). Students must also have completed all pool training with their home dive shop. The original instructor will provide the student with their training record (referral form) so we can pick up right where they left off.
On your first day of training, we’ll meet at the shop, get you fitted for the equipment you’ll be using in class, and complete paperwork! After that, we’ll head down to the beach where the real fun begins and we will complete Open Water Dives 1 and 2..
On the second day, we’ll meet directly at the dive site to complete your last two dives! After our dives on the second day, we’ll return to the shop to complete logbooks and get you certified!
Students ARE required to provide all of their own transportation to and from the dive sites, so please plan accordingly.
