During our weekend courses, you'll be working with your instructor to complete all the classroom and pool training. At the end of the course you will be issued a referral form that can be used to complete your open water training dives.

With this referral form you can either complete your open water training dives with Boston SCUBA Inc. (during local diving season), or complete your dives while on vacation.

We offer PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) classes, the largest diver training organization in the world. Our diving instructors have hundreds of logged dives, and many years of teaching experience. Your safety and proficiency as a diver will be our number one goal.
