| About our Open Water Dives: OW certification dives are a required part of every scuba class. The certification process includes 4 scuba dives that have to be split up into 2 days.
(About 'LAKE DIVES'. Some of our competitors accuse that you'll spend hundreds of dollars and a whole weekend of time if you don't do your dives in their metro-area mud-hole. Our lake dives are made either at Lake Elmer Thomas or at Lake Murray, both about a 90 minute drive. We don't spend the night either place, so you spend 2 four-and-a-half or five hour sessions on 2 separate days making the dives. You'll spend the cost of a single tank of gas, plus whatever you spend on lunch after the dives. Easy, Efficient, and Economical, to say the least.
Just the way we like it.

Students preparing to dive at Lake Elmer Thomas |
We train and do certification dives year-round, not just when it's comfortable and convenient for us. When the water gets cold around here, we can put students into heavier wetsuits or drysuits, or make a few weekend long road trips to someplace else with warmer water than we have here during the winter, like Santa Rosa, NM or south into Texas. We also give you the option of making your dives during one of our frequent trips to tropical destinations like Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Curacao, or another caribbean hotspot. You can also do what's called a 'referral' certification if you already have a vacation planned. You take documentation that shows you've completed the knowledge development and confined water portions of the course to a resort instructor who takes you on your open water dives and issues the certification. |
