OPEN WATER CERTIFICATION

Open Water Certification: Your Gateway to Underwater Exploration

Are you ready to dive into the world of scuba diving? Our Basic Scuba Certification course is the perfect entry point for aspiring divers. This comprehensive program equips you with the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for safe and enjoyable open water diving.

Open Water Diver Certification

Open Water Diver Certification is the first level of diver training. It provides the foundation and basic skills necessary

to engage in recreational diving and form the basis for all levels of advanced and specialty diver training. Open Water Diver certification is the "learning permit" for recreational diving.

Open Water Diver Training

Peachtree Dive offers lessons in a weekend format to accommodate your schedule. Weekend classes are on Friday evening from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m., and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Daytime Open Water Diver classes are available upon request.

 

Course Requirements

Students are required to furnish all personal equipment (mask, fins, snorkel, and boots) used during the class. The Open Water Course consists of the PADI Open Water eLearning access and a PADI logbook.

 

Open Water Training

Following successful completion of Open Water eLearning and confined water training conducted at Peachtree Dive, students must complete four Open Water Training Dives. Trips are scheduled monthly throughout the year, and more frequently during spring and summer to accommodate your schedule.

 

Pricing

The price of the Open Water Training Dives is not included in the class fees. Trip prices start at $300 and vary with the location and number of dives planned. The Open Water certification trip prices do include all diving equipment (BCD, tanks, weights, regulator, dive computer, and wetsuit.) lodging (unless noted) based on double occupancy, boat, and/or diving fees, PADI certification fees and other diving related expenses. Students are responsible for food, transportation, and personal expenses.

 

Students wishing to complete their Open Water Training Dives at a resort area, and not under the supervision of a Peachtree Dive instructor, may do so by presenting the logbook to the receiving instructor/resort. Please consult the instructor or resort for any additional paperwork requirements.
