This course will fully certify you to dive WORLDWIDE

Your Scuba Diver Course may be completed in only two weekends. Class size is limited. Please call the shoppe for current pricing. The cost includes course materials and use of scuba equipment (BCD, regulator, cylinder, weight belt, and wetsuit). You must supply personal equipment (mask, snorkel, fins, booties, and logbook), which may be purchased in the store and you may apply your student discount. The cost of personal gear is typically between $300-450, or you may supply approved personal gear from other sources.

The course material takes 10-12 hours of home study and the final exam. This must be completed BEFORE your first weekend at the pool and continuing on to your open water dives. A medical release may be required from your doctor depending on health issues.

Pool work is scheduled the first weekend for Saturday 8am-5pm. We meet at the scuba shop at 8am. You must show up with all your personal gear already purchased and ready to go. Bring swimsuit and towel as well. Some Sunday pool time may be required, but not normally. The second weekend consists of four scuba dives over two days (typically Saturday and Sunday) to complete your certification. The scheduled times for Saturday and Sunday are 8am-3pm. These dives normally take place at The Scuba Ranch at Clear Springs (formally Clear Springs Scuba Park) in Terrell, Texas (approximately 1 1/4 hours east of Grapevine). SRCS collects a daily fee of $20 and air fills are $10 (credit cards accepted). You should plan on bringing all your scuba gear, a cooler with food and drink, lounge chair, towel, tarp and sunscreen.

You will be responsible for picking up your scuba equipment either Thursday or Friday at the store and returning it rinsed and clean on Monday. A $50 cleaning charge will be assessed for equipment returned not cleaned. Once your scuba dives are completed, you will be issued a temporary certification. Your permanent card will be available online through the NAUI app.

Some individuals may wish to do their classroom and pool work here and complete their checkout dives while on vacation. Cost for this procedure is $300 and you still supply your own personal gear. Be aware that checkout dives at resort locations can cost as much as a full course here in the States. Check this out as part of your vacation plans. Others may be bringing a referral for work done elsewhere and heed completion of their course work. These prices vary depending on what work is required. Check with the store for availablity. Four checkout dives for certification is $250 and includes the scuba equipment needed, but not personal gear or park fees/expenses.
