To get certified as an Open Water Diver, there are three easy steps! You must own your own scuba quality mask, fins, snorkel and boots. First, you must complete your online academics, a medical review form, lecture, and an exam, followed by about six hours of confined water training (in a pool). Then, you can complete your open water check-out dives with us at our private local quarry, come with us on a trip, or take a Referral to another SSI Dive Center to finish your dives on your own vacation.
