Open Water Diver / Recreational 1

Become a Scuba Diver

About this training

Train with purpose.

The Open Water Diver course is an entry level class designed to teach NON-certified divers to be safe and comfortable while enjoying the wonders of our oceans, lakes and other waters. This class is structured to prepare divers for recreational diving using proper equipment and proper diving techniques. Recreational 1 adds Nitrox as a breathing gas.

A personal approach.

You train directly with me, in a team of three or fewer. Every skill connects to a real dive, with time for observation, practice, and feedback.

Start with a free 15-minute call. We’ll go over your experience, the prerequisites, your equipment, and what you want to achieve, then set dates together.
