All students vary in their comfort level in the water and our staff is aware that more or less time may be needed for students to complete the course. The five PADI Open Water videos shown in class are available for purchase or rent. PADI's interactive CD Rom is also available for purchase. Watching your own video or CD will shorten your class time and they are excellent for review. The CD Rom has much more.
All scuba equipment is provided in the class.
Books can be purchased at the store. Mask, fins, snorkel, and boots can also be purchased at the store or they can be rented for a small fee for the class. The rental can be applied to purchase if done before the certification dives. Certification dives consist of four open water dives for which there is a one time fee. These dives can be completed locally, on one of our popular Bull Shoals trips, or other weekend trips.
