Scuba Diver
Congratulations! You are about to begin the most inspirational, exciting, adventurous, and enjoyable learning experience in your life. You are going to become a PADI Scuba Diver. Whether you have dreamed about becoming a diver since you were little or you have just recently become interested, we know that the time and resources involved in learning to scuba dive with Divers Incorporated will be well spent. Being a diver exposes you to a whole new world. It's your ticket to adventure in some of our planet's most beautiful and exciting locations. Diving is something you can share with friends and family, and it will lead you to new friends. The PADI Scuba Diver Course is a course for those individuals who wish to experience diving with a PADI Professional but do not wish to complete the requirements for the PADI National Geographic Open Water Diver Certification. It is a shorter option for those people who want to dive on vacation or locally and are willing to be limited to diving under the supervision of a Professional Divemaster or instructor. The experience you gain in this course is able to be credited towards the PADI National Geographic Open Water Diver Certification at a later date. The PADI Scuba Diver Course is designed for people who do better with guidance or have been away from studying for a while. This course is designed so each week corresponds with a chapter that can be completed in a timely manner within the normal schedule of your life. When we schedule a course one night per week, it gives you an opportunity to "have something come up at work" or to "run-a-little-late." If you miss a day or need extra help on one of the lessons, we are able to schedule a time for make-ups. The longer schedule format also allows you the opportunity to understand the knowledge development sections and gives you more time for practice during the pool sessions. Prerequisites Before you can enroll in the PADI Scuba Diver course, you must:
Classroom and Pool Sessions
Your course starts with your orientation at Divers Incorporated. When you come in to sign up for the course you will get your homework assignments and your first video to watch at home to get you started. Your dive guide will also help you select your Mask, Snorkel, Fins and Boots during the orientation. You will schedule your next three sessions (and, if desired, an open water day.) Each session requires you to have completed your homework assignments and consist of two hours classroom training and two hours of pool training. For each session you will need to have a swimsuit, a towel and a lock is suggested. Approved Mask, Snorkel, Fins, and Boots are needed for the remaining sessions. Scuba Equipment will be provided. Gloves are not needed until the Open Water Certification dives. After the three sessions are completed the Open water Dives are typically done over a weekend.

The Pool and the classroom portions of this course are only the beginning. To complete your certification you must complete two dives in an Open Water setting. Typically your open water certification dive will be scheduled as soon as it is possible after the pool and classroom portions of this program. Regardless of how you plan on completing the certification dives you will have six months to complete the required Open Water Certification without retraining. Course Costs The PADI Scuba Diver Course from Divers Incorporated includes:
The PADI Scuba Diver Course from Divers Incorporated is only $349 per person. Additional RequirementsStudents must supply their own snorkeling equipment prior to their first class session. This equipment should be properly fitted and will become your most personal dive gear. We can help you choose something appropriate during your orientation session. This equipment will include: Mask, Fins, Boots (if open heel fins are used), and a Snorkel. These are all available from Divers Incorporated. For your open water weekend you need purchase gloves and purchase or rent a hood. Your instructor will explain the equipment requirements during your class sessions. Since you may not know exactly which equipment would work best for you, we understand that you are trusting the staff of Divers Incorporated to fit you properly with equipment that will work for you in all your diving needs. To this end, we offer you an extended version of our exclusive “First Dive Guarantee.” If for any reason you are not happy with your choice of equipment purchased from Divers Incorporated during your course, you can exchange it for something more suitable to your needs that we currently carry.
We look forward to diving with you. If you have questions give us a call at (734) 971 7770, email us, or check out our Frequently Asked Questions Page for more information. For a Schedule of upcoming classes and times click here! |
