Certification Class description
If you’ve always wanted to take scuba diving lessons, experience unparalleled adventure and see the world beneath the waves, this is where it starts. Get your scuba diving certification with the Open Water Diver course – the world’s most popular and widely recognized scuba course. Millions of people have learned to scuba dive and gone on to discover the wonders of the aquatic world through this course.

To enroll in a Open Water Diver course (or Junior Open Water Diver course), you must be 10 years old or older. (10 & 11 yr olds need private class). You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with scuba diving is required.
​
​The goal of your instructor and the staff of Dolphin is not only to help you develop the knowledge and skills necessary to become autonomous competent divers, but also make your training safe, comfortable, and FUN! We need you to ensure that your class runs as smoothly as possible.

The classes are performance based. Signing up for a class doesn't guarantee certification. Course performance requirements must be met.
