Scuba Diving Courses

To become an Open Water Diver, students must complete the five modules of the course. These modules develop fundamental scuba skills and knowledge while preparing students for further adventure. Each module consists of a knowledge development class, a quiz and a skill session.

The Open Water Diver Course builds upon the concept of performance-based learning. This means student divers progress through the course by demonstrating that they meet measurable learning objectives. The course's instructional design sequences these objectives from simple to complex, so students build upon previous learning as they progress.

The Knowledge Development portion establishes a foundation of principles, procedures and general information divers need. Students answer exercise questions within the reading, and complete a Knowledge Review for each section that is then checked for completeness and understanding. Students demonstrate mastery by completing the appropriate quiz, and, following the fifth module, a comprehensive final exam.
