Welcome to the basics. Dive education starts with a PADI
Open Water Scuba class designed to get you familiar with
the equipment and skills necessary to keep diving safe
and fun. You’ll learn about the dive environment
and the effects of pressure on the body. You’ll get
to practice what you’ve learned in a pool, and then
off to the ocean where you’ll complete your training.
 The Advanced Open Water class takes your dive skills to
the next level. It expands the education you’ve started
in your open water class and introduces you to new challenges.
The PADI Rescue Diver is the next level of training we
recommend all divers complete. You learn first and foremost
how to rescue yourself and then how to rescue others. The
class includes completion of the Emergency First Response
and First Aid course.
And finally, if you just can’t stop yourself from
sharing your love of the underwater world with new divers,
the PADI Divemaster course is for you. This is the first
level of professional training. For more information, see
below.
