Open Water Diver Course
Academic and Confined Water Class
|
•
|
You have several choices for the academic portion of the Open
Water Diver Course: a traditional class (scheduled sessions with an
instructor) or self-study at your own pace at your own home. Today, most
students choose to use one of the self-study options, as you read, study
and learn on your own pace and on your own schedule. You have the
choice of VHS, DVD, CD-ROM, or, if you have internet access (preferably high speed), an online
program. With the CD-ROM and online programs, there is no
manual to read, you just follow the program! Click here for more information.
