Course Cost and Requirements
PLEASE NOTE THAT REGISRATION & PAYMENT IS THROUGH KEN NOT THE Y!

Tuition is $325 OR $250 for household family member payable to the instructor (see below). This INCLUDES regulator with octo and gauges, buoyancy compensator, tank with airfills, weight belt and weights, and wetsuit.

$95 is payable to the instructor for textbook, online instruction, and certification.

Students need to provide their own mask, snorkel, boots, and fins that are adequate for ocean diving. It is recommended that students purchase this equipment from a reputable dive shop.  This equipment is needed by the first pool session May 7.  The instructor does not make a commission from equipment sales but can help guide students. Scooba Shack in Savannah provides a 10% discount for our students.  Contact them at (912) 660-7458 to make an appointment for professional advice.  Open Water training is $150 OR $100 for each additional household family member.  If you elect to complete Open Water training on one of our trips, the charge is $50 or zero for household family members taking the same course.

Students must be able to swim 150 meters and tread water 10 minutes using mask, snorkel, and fins AFTER instruction during the first class. A full refund will be provided to anyone who can’t pass this test or who should not dive due to medical history.

Registration and Information:  SMALL CLASSES SO PLEASE DON’T DELAY

Register early with Ken by phone or email shown below.

For questions, contact Ken McCracken, NAUI Professional Dive Educator, at (970)319-5747 or ken@kensscuba.com.     

Once you are certified, keep diving. We have continuing education courses and trips, such as:
dive trips to Southern California , Florida Keys, and Bimini, Bahamas this Winter.
