OPEN WATER SCUBA TRAINING

Scheduling:
Classes are scheduled on demand. Call. We teach to a minimum of one or a max of class size of 4 students per class. Certification may take as little as three weeks depending on students availability. Send us an email or better yet, call us at 919-851-6662 with any questions or to sign up for an upcoming class.

What to expect:
One needs only be able to swim 200 yards or snorkel 300 yards, and stay in water to deep to stand for 10 minutes by floating and/or treading water. The most important part of the course is training and spending time underwater in the pool. Such skills as clearing water from your mask, sharing air with a buddy, and controlling buoyancy prepare you to be weightless, have fun and be safe underwater.
It is necessary to complete written exercises at home and in class. Each student will be responsible for a Student Kit (study material) which will be necessary for home study. See store for options.

What you will need:
We furnish scuba gear systems. (Tanks, Regulators, BCD *Buoyancy Control Device*, Wet Suits and Weight Belt). To encourage you to go ahead and get your personal snorkeling equipment, we will give you 15% off our regular price if you purchase it before the class begins. Our expert staff will assist you with selection. Exchanges are welcome during the class should something be unsuitable. Other costs include Book and dive Tables - $59. DVD - $39. Shop will buy the DVD back for $30 at end of course. Mask, Fins and Snorkel from $100 up with a 15% discount to students. $15 per day for admission to Fantasy Lake for open training dives.

Equipment
Reef & Ridge will furnish scuba equipment and wetsuits for the Open Water training. Snorkeling equipment is the responsibility of the students. If not owned, rentals are available for $20.00.
