I want to learn to scuba dive, how can I?
Now is the time to dive into the PADI Open Water Diver course, the most popular
dive program in the world! This is your ticket to a lifetime of intense
adventure with PADI, the dive company that sets the standards in the global
diving community.
Why PADI Open Water?
As a certified PADI Open Water Diver, the most widely recognized and respected
rating in the world, you have the freedom to dive with a buddy independent of a
professional. If you already tried a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or
are PADI Scuba Diver certified, check with your instructor to see how credit
from these courses may apply to the open water program.

dives in Monterey, all the needed rental gear and of course your PADI Open
Water certification card!

What is the class schedule?
The PADI Open Water SCUBA Course is offered in two schedule
formats. A Weeknight Format or a Weekend Accelerated
Format.
The Weeknight Format is a three and a half week course consisting
of seven classroom / pool sessions (twice a week), and ocean dives on the final
weekend of the class.
The Weekend Accelerated Format is the exact same course except
that it is done in just two weekends! The first weekend consists of all the
class and pool sessions, then the ocean dives are done on the second weekend of
the class.
The ocean dives consist of four SCUBA dives and one snorkeling dive (optional).
What do I need to start?
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the
water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification.
If you are between 10 and 14 or have a child between these ages, there is the
PADI Junior Open Water Diver program available.
|
|
What will I need to buy?
Before the class begins you will need the PADI
Open Water Student Kit (Manual) and either the PADI Open Water DVD or
VHS Video. A PADI Open
Water CD ROM Kit is also available. Either version includes the
PADI Open Water dive manual, dive tables, logbook and a student record file.
Before your first pool session, you will need to purchase your own personal
gear which includes a mask, snorkel, fins, boots and gloves.

What can I rent?
The rest of your SCUBA diving equipment is included in the
Classroom/Pool/Rental Fee listed above. The rentals include your wetsuit,
hood, regulator (primary with octopus, pressure gauge, depth gauge &
compass), weight belt, buoyancy control device (BCD), and tanks.
If you purchase all of the items from Diver Dan's
that are included in the rentals before your ocean dives, you will
receive a $95.00 rebate!
Medical Concerns or Questions?
If you are currently under the care of a Medical Doctor, or
have a pre-existing medical condition that requires permission from a
Physician, you will need to have a signed Medical Release form from your doctor
before you can participate in any in-water activities.
To obtain a medical release form and view some conditions that would require a
doctors release, download the PADI Medical Release Form here.
OK - I'm ready! - What are the class dates?
Being a PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Center (IDC), Diver
Dan's has the largest staff of instructors in the Bay
Area. This allows us to offer class schedules that are sure to meet your
needs. However, if you find that you are unable to find a class that fits
into you schedule, just let us know as there are many options available to you
from private classes to participating in
multiple classes, the choice is yours.
