The three-part open-water certification program begins with in-class or online academic sessions, which cover dive theory, equipment, and planning safe dives amid reefs and shipwrecks. Next, students participate in pool sessions, where they’ll learn basic skills such as how to assemble their scuba units and communicate with their diving partners through hand signals and underwater Pictionary. To complete their training, students join their instructors for two open-water dives, most often in the viridian waters of Weeki Wachee Springs. Open-water sessions typically occur on Sundays at 7:30 a.m., when weather permits. Schedule your academic, pool, and open-water sessions on the online calendar.
