The Steps to Learn to Scuba DiveScuba Diving Open Water Certification In order to be a scuba diver, you need to be certified (at minimum) as an open water diver. Without an open water diver certificate, no one will rent you equipment sell you a boat ticket, etc. There is good reason for this: there is no air under water and you could end up doing drowning if you can not adequately perform the basic necessities of a successful open water dive. While there are advanced certifications, the beginner level is an open water diver certification and this is where you will start to learn to scuba dive. (Open water refers to swimming in the ocean or a lake and where there is nothing over your head as opposed to wreck penetration, cavern diving, etc) When you first learn to scuba dive, you will start with classroom material, a pool dive, two beach dives and two boat dives. Usually, people take this course as a night class or two weekends in a row. Continued Education and Scuba Diving Safety While you will be certified and can pretty much dive as you please, it is much wiser to continue you scuba diving course work into the advanced open water diver certification. This involves more experienced based diving including certain mandatory dives (ie deep water dives) and a series of electives (underwater photography, fish identification, etc) When you learn to scuba dive in conjunction with continued education, you will be a better and safer diver. This particular course runs a weekend and is highly advised as are the other continued education specialty diving courses that one can continue throughout one's life. |
