Premium Pool Training: (Phase one)

All classes are not equal. With our Premium lessons you will receive the most thorough and current scuba training available. The premium lessons are private (one on one) training, they include unlimited pools, and there is no rush to get yet you through. Unlike other courses that may exclude the lecture portion of your training, do large group pools sessions, recycle you into another class if you get left behind, or simply not train in the latest scuba gear with dive computers. Premium lessons offer all of the above.

We combine the home study, lecture and pool training at your own pace. First you study via a home study kit, then schedule two individual lecture sessions. Next you will be required to do a minimum of four pool sessions. These pools can be set up around your busy schedule at any of the three pools we use.

In addition each student is required to either purchase a Mask, Fins, and Snorkel package from Blue Wave Scuba, or rent a package for $30.00. Upon completion of the pool training, and open water training course (additional charge see below) you will be issued a permanent Certification Card from SDI.
