Thanks for your interested in learning how to SCUBA dive with me. There are usually a number of questions people have in regards to becoming SCUBA certified. I will try to answer the basics here. I am based out of Chicago, IL, and train divers there.
Becoming SCUBA certified with me is a 3 step process.
- Completion of eLearning.
- Completion of confined water (pool) dives.
- There are four of these dives usually completed in 2 days.
- Completion of open water or “check out” dives.
- There are four of these dives usually completed in 2 days.
Once you do this you will be considered an “open water” diver and receive a “C-card” (a certification card). That will allow you to SCUBA dive around the world for your experience level. There are a variety of organizations that certify divers. I am a SDI instructor.
Please contact me if you interested in taking the plunge.
