Local PADI Open Water Group Class

For our local Naples/Marco Island residents we are scheduling small group classes a few times each year. Total number of students per class will be less than 4 divers. These classes will meet 2 nights a week for 2 weeks (a total of 4 sessions) and will finish the dives on the Saturday and Sunday following the end of the pool sessions.

First night 6 PM to 8 PM Classroom Review & Intro to Dive Equipment

Your instructor will review key points you learned in the home study portion and answer any questions you might have. We will set up a 'scuba unit' and demonstrate its features. We also complete all the pre-dive paperwork: release forms, knowledge reviews, etc. Additionally we will review the entire class schedule. If needed we will outfit you with snorkel gear. We have superb equipment at excellent prices and guarantee your satisfaction.

Pool Nights 6 pm to 9:30 pm. 3 Nights

Let's blow some bubbles! Relaxing and breathing through your mouth is all it takes. We will assemble and test equipment, then learn and practice scuba skills. Patience is key as we swim you down the path to scuba proficiency. We may complete all the pool requirements that day, if not we will wrap it up just prior to session 3. We take as long as needed to ensure all skills are mastered and each diver becomes comfortable in the water.

Open Water Dives 1 & 2 Start at 9:30

Let's dive! We do dives 1 & 2 in Tarpon Bay, entering the water off a dock. No currents or waves means no potential seasickness! This today takes approximately 3 to 4 hours.

Open Water Dives 3 & 4

For dives 3 & 4 we will either be onboard our 32 ft. Twin Vee custom dive boat, the Psychquatic and big thrills await! For more details see About Gulf Diving. If the weather isn't cooperating on the West side of Florida, then we will caravan over to the east coast to complete dives 3& 4.

Your comfort level and proficiency in the water is our priority! We understand that there is a lot of information to comprehend and we all learn at our own pace. We’ve trained thousands of divers over 25 years and are well versed at helping students overcome any anxieties they may have.
