Get certified in 3 steps
Online Studying
Private Pool Lesson
Lake weekend
You will start your journey with the independent online study. You will learn everything you need to know about the equipment, the underwater world and the skills you will be learning in the pool.
Needs to be completed before pool sessions will be scheduled.
Here you will learn to put your knowledge into practice. You will be taught the skills you need to become a safe diver. You will have time to play around and will learn how to adjust your buoyancy.
The final step is the Open Water certification, where you'll demonstrate everything you've learned in the pool. You can complete this at Scuba Ranch in Terrell with me, or choose a referral to finish your certification at a resort with another instructor (additional fees apply).
The cost is $600, which includes your online access for studies and tests, pool session in a heated pool, and lake sessions. I will provide the following equipment: BCD, regulator, weights, and tanks.
You will need to purchase your own mask, snorkel, fins, boots, and a bag.
Additional costs not included:
-
Lake entry fee ($20 per day)
-
Tank fills at the lake ($10 per fill, approximately 3-4 fills needed over the weekend)
-
Wetsuit rental (if needed)
-
If multiple pool sessions are needed there might be additional charges of $199 per pool session for heating the pool.
