Open Water Scuba Diver
What to Expect?
Our NAUI Open Water Scuba Diver class will teach you about modern dive equipment, diving sciences, responsible diving practices and the environment. First, all diving skills will be learned (online/in classroom) and practiced in the comfort and convenience of a confined water environment(pool). Then comes your open water training dives, with your NAUI Instructor, where you will perform those same familiar skills in a real-world diving scenario. Our goal is to prepare our divers for any environment so we offer our student freshwater training with the option to add in a saltwater dive with your instructor.
This course is conducted over a two-weekend time period. The dates on the calendar represent the START date. First weekend consists of classroom on Saturday, and pool on Sunday. The second weekend consists of 4 open water dives.; two on Saturday, and two on Sunday.

Bundle Full Face Mask? Yes, Please!
We have good reasons why you should.
Reasons to bundle your Full Face Mask and Open Water certifications
​
· With a full face mask, you can breathe naturally through both your nose and mouth, reducing jaw fatigue since there’s no need to bite down on a traditional mouthpiece. The mask provides a wide, panoramic view for a more immersive experience underwater and is specially designed to prevent fogging, keeping your view clear without interruption. Additionally, it virtually eliminates flooding, so you can stay focused on the dive without needing to clear water from the mask.
· One of the most critical benefits of the full face mask is its secure design. Because the mask and regulator are integrated, they cannot easily become dislodged—a key safety feature. In traditional setups, dislodged regulators are a leading cause of drowning accidents among divers, which can happen for various reasons, including oxygen toxicity, heart failure, or even stroke. With a full face mask, you have an extra layer of protection, as the mask remains secure and provides continuous access to air even in challenging situations.
· The standalone Full Face Mask course costs $350, but when bundled with your Open Water Certification, we reduce it to just $125—a savings of $225! This bundle has quickly become a favorite for divers who want to prioritize comfort, visibility, and safety from the very beginning, making every dive smoother, safer, and more enjoyable.
