our 3 step
process
1 - eLearning
The first step in the entire process is your E-Learning. When you sign up for class you will be assigned a course you can start right away! This section takes roughly 7 hours to complete and will teach you all of the major lecture points in scuba.
2 - Confined Water
This is where we are able to jump into the pool and put the skills you were taught in E-Learning to the test. We have several pools across the Pittsburgh area to choose from as well as a very flexible schedule. There are 5 different pool sessions required - but often we can combine these into just a few days!
3 - Open Water Dives
By now you understand all the academics and scuba skills needed to finish the course - its time to go dive! We have many options for our open water dives - but most divers complete the dive at a local quarry right behind the Grove City Outlets. You are required to complete 4 dives over 2 days. Once you complete these you are certified for life!
