Options to Make Your Entry into the Underwater World Easy
Group Certification Courses: After completing your PADI eLearning course, you will sign up for a scheduled confined water class, taking place over two days at our beautiful facility with other recent eLearning graduates. From there, 4 open water dives will be scheduled directly with the instructor.
Private Certification Courses: Much like the group course, you'll finish your eLearning, and then reach out to the instructor directly for private class times. We can custom tailor to your needs. For private instruction, you will need to purchase your PADI eLearning HERE and then contact the office for private instruction dates.
Items for Consideration
Equipment: You will need to provide your own basic snorkeling equipment (mask, fins, snorkel, booties and gloves). If you purchase them from us, not only do we offer a student discount of 20% off, but we provide a liberal trade-in policy if any item does not fit or just isn’t working. We want you to have gear that is comfortable, safe, and works!
Health: SCUBA Diving, though weightless and extremely relaxing, has physical limits. You will need to have your health commensurate with the exercises of SCUBA. We have enclosed a check list that you need to answer no to all the options. If you have to answer yes to any, you must go to your doctor for approval to enter this class.
The PADI Open Water Class Structure: PADI’s Open Water SCUBA course is meant to be taught in a sequence, i.e., Module 1 must be completed before module 2. Refer to the contract (Contract). The PADI eLearning offers the most flexibility, but must be completed before pool classes can be started.
Cancellation Policy: Full refund if cancellation request received within 3 days of booking, or 14 days prior to start of instruction. No refund or credit or transfer will be permitted if request received within 14 days of start of class. PADI eLearning is non-refundable ($217). Adventure Sports Unlimited, Inc., reserves the right to reschedule or cancel if it is undersubscribed.
