Beginning
Scuba Diving
Your Open Water Scuba Diver certification allows you to rent
equipment and/or buy air fills for your tanks. It gives you
the basics to start diving with a friend or buddy and limits
the depth you can dive to a certain number of feet. Your open
water scuba diver certification permits you to dive from 60
feet below the surface. But remember, some of the best diving
is found well above 60 feet! (For deeper dives and night dives,
learn about scuba lessons for the Advanced Open Water Certification.)
Your scuba instructor will teach you all
of the basics with some book time required on your part.
In addition to the books, there is a pool dive followed
by 4 open water dives. The instructor will also test your
new scuba skills during the final dives to make sure you
have mastered the basics of breathing underwater!
