OPEN WATER SCUBA CLASS
follow these links for more info:
 
The Open Water Diver course is the entry-level program to learn to SCUBA dive. The course is broken down into 3 parts: academic sessions, pool sessions, and 4 open water training dives.

During the weekend course, 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 the Boston Harbor Diving Co. (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 years of teaching experience. Your safety and proficiency as a diver will be our number one goal.

Academic & pool training sessions are held at the Atkinson Pool in Sudbury, MA. This facility is a 1 hour drive west of Boston.
