OPENWATER TRAINING DIVE SCHEDULE

PADI SCUBA certification requires four open water training dives. No more than two dives may be completed in any one day and dives must be completed in sequence one through four during the same two day training period. Training/equipment-rental/certification fee is $20 per dive (quarry entry fee not included). Space is limited, so a $5 per dive non refundable deposit is required to register and reserve rental equipment for dives.
