DIVING FUNDAMENTALS

This is a simple introduction through an immersive course that shows you the basic steps to becoming a confident diver. Here you’ll get to explore the ocean from a perspective you may have never seen before while you develop useful diving techniques. This course is a great way to experience SCUBA diving before you decide to take the plunge into an official PADI certification course. Discover SCUBA Diving gives insight into what you can expect from a PADI certification course if you decide to pursue diving more seriously. No prior experience of SCUBA diving is necessary, but participants must be 10 years of age or older and must be in reasonable physical health.

•   What it’s like to breathe underwater
•   Learn diving skills and techniques that you’ll use during each SCUBA dive
•   The fun of swimming and exploring the ocean
•   Learn about the SCUBA equipment you use to dive and how simple it is to move around underwater with your gear
•   Hear about becoming a certified diver

This is the first course you’ll take to begin your SCUBA diving certification. The PADI open water certification first starts with the included online eLearning course, and then you’ll move to a pool where you’ll get to practice your new skills. If you’ve ever wanted to take SCUBA diving lessons, experience unparalleled adventure, and see the world beneath the water, this is where it starts.

The Refresher SCUBA diving course is designed for divers who have not been diving for a year or more. Many sea divers only dive once a year or maybe a few times a year because that is what their lifestyle allows. There’s nothing wrong with that! However, we have seen it far too often when sea divers come on a boat and have not been in the water for a year or more and they forget their fundamentals and the most important rules of safety involved with the sport. We urge these divers to take this course with our instructor John and refresh their skills and memory before diving without professional accompaniment.

Referral courses are very popular in South Florida. Perhaps you have started your certification in the north where open water diving is not as beautiful or warm as our diving in Palm Beach. Fortunately, you don’t have to finish in the quarry or the lake! Why not do your classroom and pool training with your local PADI or SDI shop and finish here in sunny West Palm Beach? Your instructor can send you with a training record of what you have completed with them which I can then use to complete your certification. Another situation where this course is used is if the weather where you first started turned sour or perhaps you were unable to finish your course because of a common cold, etc. John has accommodated these situations before and is happy to finish your course with you!
