Basic Open Water is the course that provides you with your SCUBA "C" card and allows you do dive around the world.

Our Basic course includes Wetsuit, Dive Gear, Training and both Pool and Open Water dives in local lake. Students must provide their own Mask, Snorkel, and Dive Boots.

You must be able to swim and float with your head above the water, and provide an acceptable medical screening questionnaire or doctor's approval to participate.

The class involves 8-10 hours of online e-learning with videos and multiple choice quizzes. Once you complete the e-learning we will spend 1 weekend, (Saturday & Sunday) in a local pool learning and demonstrating basic skills like flooding then removing and replacing your mask, regulator and other gear. After the pool sessions, you can opt to "go South" to a warmer climate to complete your Open Water dives with someone else, or stay with us as we explore a local lake here in Michigan.
