Weekend Classes - $750

*We strongly recommend that students provide the more personal gear such as mask, snorkel, fins, boots, and gloves. We require that students have their own Surface marker buoy (SMB) and Whistle. These items can be purchased through Dive N Surf, and students will receive 20% off.  

Weekend Schedules: Weekend classes take place over four full days broken up into two consecutive weekends. The first weekend will consist of a short classroom lesson, while the majority of the day will be spent diving in our on-site heated pool. The hours will take place around 9 AM until around 2 PM for both Saturday and Sunday.

The second weekend is completely dedicated to your ocean dives! Students will complete a total of 4 dives, some boat diving off our Island Diver and some beach dives at Veteran's Park. The conditions determine the hours for the training but the hours usually start early around 6 AM and you can expect to be done around noon. 

If you're on a tight schedule to get your certification, keep in mind that mother nature loves to mix things up and may interrupt the certification process. Although we will do our best to get you certified on the dates you're scheduled, it's sometimes out of our control and we appreciate your understanding.
