You will receive a NAUI eLearning access code after signing up for your course. Additional lectures will be held in the classroom with your instructor for in-depth clarification and questions.

Note: Times Listed are place holders. Scheduling for lectures and pool sessions will be done independently with your instructor. Students will still be expected to join a group class for Open Water Dives.


Pool Training Sessions

Please note that you will need to complete a swim evaluation before your first pool session. The pool training sessions are designed to help you enjoy a smooth transition into the underwater world. These sessions help you relax and have fun in the water using scuba equipment. All this is accomplished with your instructor by your side. We will have plenty of time to cover all scuba skills and gain proficiency in scuba techniques. There will be four confined water sessions. Additional sessions can be added if needed.

Open Water Check-Out Dive Sessions

All four of your open water check-out dives will be done in one of several locations in Ohio or off the shores of South Florida. On these dives you will confidently demonstrate scuba skills that were practiced in the pool. Throughout the summer, check-out dives at local quarries are typically held the weekend immediately following the completion of your confined water training. When you sign up for a confined water session, we will discuss scheduling of local and/or Florida options.
