Frequently Asked Questions:

 

  • How long does that class take?
  • This depends on your schedule. After signing up, we will issue your eLearning to your email. Some students can finish this in a couple of days (however, don’t rush). After completing your eLearning, call us to schedule your orientation session (about 2 hours). During the orientation session, we will schedule your 2 pool sessions (3 hours each on Mondays and Wednesdays), and your 2 days of Open Water Dives at the lake (9am-1pm). If your schedule allows it, we can finish up in about 2 weeks.
  • What is a private Open Water?
  • Some of our students’ work schedules don’t meet the criteria of attending our scheduled pool sessions (Mon & Wed) and Open Water dives at the lake (Sat & Sun). A private Open Water is based on your schedule and the extra $ hires a private instructor for all of the sessions and dives.
  • Can I buy a full SCUBA set before my Open Water dives?
  • Yes! However, we recommend our students try the gear we provide. Think of it like a test drive for a car – we’d like for our students to try on BCDs and breathe on our rental regulators to find that perfect fit.
  • Do I need to have diving boots?
  • Yes, this is a requirement. When completing the Open Water dives in lakes around us, the water temperature can drop quite low. Boots provide the extra thermal protection when in colder waters.
  • What if I can make some of the scheduled classes but not all of them?
  • We can offer specific private lessons. For example, if a student can’t make the pool session dates, but can make the Open Water dates, we will only charge for a private instructor for the Open Water dates.
  • What happens if I miss a class?
  • We try to work with everyone that we can, however, Extreme Sports reserves the right to charge $50 for a missed orientation session(s) or pool session(s). For Open Water dives, $100 will be charged for no-shows. PER PERSON.
  • What does the Open Water SCUBA Certification allow me to do?
  • With a certification card, it allows divers to purchase dive equipment, get cylinder fills, and dive within recreational dive limits internationally. The SDI Open Water class certifies divers to dive to a depth of 60ft.

Gear is reserved for our students ahead of time. If your schedule changes and you can’t make a class, please let us know AT LEAST 48 HOURS AHEAD so no-show fees aren’t applied.
