Open Water Diver Course (Beginning Scuba)

Part One is your Classroom and Pool Training

This is completed at our facility in Eden Prairie. In the classroom your Instructor will review the pre-study work that you completed at home, answering your questions. You will then complete the Final exam. The pool training is completed in our In-Store pool. During your pool sessions you will become familiar with the scuba equipment and master the basic skills. Because we have our own In-Store pool, your pool training isn't rushed.

We provide all the SCUBA equipment (BCD, air delivery system, tank and weights) for your pool sessions. Each student provides his/her own personal gear (mask, snorkel and fins) since these items are specially fit for you. Our professional staff of Instructors will assist you in getting the personal gear that will work best for you. Rental gear is also available. You need to bring a swimsuit and towel to your pool training.

There are several ways you can complete Part One:

Group Course

This is a group of 4 to 8 people that meets on a Friday evening from 6:30-10:00pm, Saturday from 8:30am - 5:00pm, and Sunday from 8:30am - Noon (If necessary). There are also Tuesday - Thursday and Wednesday - Friday Group Classes that meet from 6:30-10:00pm for two weeks. You receive your Book and Study Guide Questions that you complete before your first session. Then you come to our facility to complete your Classroom and Pool Training. The cost is $239.95 per person.

Private Lesson

This course is ideal for those with difficult schedules or who simply want One on One training with an Instructor. With our In-Store pool these sessions can be scheduled any time, days evenings and weekends. Watch the DVD and complete the Pre-Study work from the comfort of your home, then come to our facility for an Orientation/Academic Review Session and 2 Pool Sessions. The cost for a Private Lesson is $394.95 for the first person/ $249.95 for each additional person.

If one of our Group Classes doesn't fit your schedule, call the shop and we can arrange a class to fit your needs.

Part 2 is your Open Water Certification Dives

Referrals

During the winter months you can complete your Open Water Training Dives while on vacation. You can join one of our group trips to Cozumel, Mexico and finish your training with our Instructors. If you aren't traveling with our groups, we will issue you a Universal Referral to take with on your trip. With this referral, you can complete your dives anywhere in the world. If you have not made arrangements with a Dive Operator at your destination, we can help you find one. The cost of your training dives can vary by location.

Square Lake Certification Dives

During the Summer months, usually June thru October, these dives are done at Square Lake, near Stillwater. Morning and Afternoon Sessions are available. There are also weeknight, in the evening, options available. Private Open Water sessions are available for those unable to attend the group sessions.
