Class Schedule
The Weekend Accelerated Open Water Course completes your Open Water training course in only two weekends! This two weekend course consists of all the class and pool sessions in the first weekend, and ocean dives on the second weekend of the class. The ocean dives consist of four scuba dives and one snorkeling dive This format does require the student to have watched the Open Water video, read the Open Water manual, and complete all knowledge reviews prior to the first class.

We also offer this course in a three and 1/2 week format.
The PADI Open Water Scuba Class is available in a three and a half week format, consisting of six classroom/pool sessions (twice a week) and ocean dives on the final weekend of the class. The ocean dives consist of four scuba dives and one snorkeling dive
What you will need to buy
Before the class begins, you will need the PADI Open Water Student Kit and PADI Open Water Video (DVD or VHS - available for rent or purchase) OR the PADI Open Water CD-ROM Student Kit (both versions include the PADI Open Water Diver Manual, dive tables, log book, and a student record file). Before your first pool session you will need your own personal gear, which includes mask, snorkel, fins, boots, and gloves. Scuba Fusion Dive Center staff will assist you with the remainder of your equipment, based on the type of diving that you plan on doing.
What you may rent
