Open Water Diver Certification

Choose the Honolulu scuba dive course that best fits your schedule!

Semi-Private Course

When you learn to scuba dive, you are opening yourself up to unmatched adventure and beauty. Your SSI or PADI Open Water Certification is the first step. This two day scuba certification course can be scheduled any days you are available to learn to dive. To complete your two day course you will have to finish your digital learning prior to the first day of class.

Included in your scuba diving training is all equipment needed, digital learning, private confined water instruction, and certification.
During your Open Water dives on the boat, your instructor is supervising other guests as well. (Want an instructor all to yourself for all of your training dives? Check out our Private Open Water Course below.)

Day 1- Review your self-guided eLearning along with a morning pool session where you begin to learn the basic skills of scuba diving. You then jump on the afternoon 2 tank shallow reef charter to complete the first session of your open water training dives.

Days 2 – Again, you meet in the morning to complete the confined water training of the course, then on to finish your last two open ocean dives. Successfully completing the diving class allows you to go scuba diving and rent equipment anywhere in the world.

There are no hidden costs, no books to buy, gear to rent, etc.  In the group course the group may decide on boats dives the second weekend, if so the special rate of $65 would apply, but this is optional.  The minimum age to enroll in the group course is 15 years.  Ages 10-14 may enroll in a private or semi-private course.  Distances between the shop and confined water and boat dives can be considerable, so students should have reliable personal transportation.  Transportation is not provided in the group course.

Private Course

All-inclusive two- day PADI course (one to two person max). This course follows the Semi Private Course schedule.   However, your private instructor will have no other responsibilities during the course besides your training and direct supervision.  To make any course private for your group, book one person at private course rate and the rest may be booked at Semi-Private rate (no one else will be added to course)

A typical schedule for this scuba diving training begins early in the morning on day one with a digital learning review in the form of an exam. You then complete a few hours of confined water training and then on to the 2 tank afternoon shallow reef dive.

Day two you begin the morning with your final confined water session of scuba diving training and again onto the afternoon dive charter to complete the last two open water scuba diving training dives.
