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 2 locations to complete your academic & pool training:

Boston Area: At the Garfield School in Revere. The pool is accessible by "T", and has street parking available in the area.

Metro-West: At the Atkinson Pool in Sudbury. The pool is about an hours drive west of Boston. Plenty of free parking is available, however the pool isn't "T" accessible.

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.

Rates below reflect total cost of the course. All the SCUBA & snorkeling gear needed for the course is included. No gear purchases are necessary. No gear rental fees. No hidden costs!!!

Another benefit of our course is that we supply our students with a wetsuit for pool training. Although the pools we use are heated, a wetsuit provides an additional level of comfort in the pool. You won't be cold with us!!

The Open Water Diver Program is broken down into 3 parts:

Academic Sessions:	5 Academics modules completed either by reading a manual & watching a DVD, or by completing the PADI E-Learning course online.
Pool Sessions:	2 Pool classes learning and practicing the skills needed for SCUBA diving. Total pool time is about 8 hours.
Open Water Dives:	4 SCUBA dives completed over a 2-day period. All the open water training is done on our dive boat- No shore diving!!. Open water training dives will be available Friday thru Monday. Training dives will start May 24th and run until October 31st. Check here for open spots.
Referral Program for Open Water Dives:	Open water dives can be completed just about anywhere in the world. Once all the academic and pool sessions are complete, a referral form is issued to the student. The student can use this form to complete the open water dives while on vacation.
Cost Per Student	Referral Program Rates (Academic and Pool Only)		Rates for Completing Open Water Dives

Students have the option of either completing the academics online in a e-Learning format, or with paper copies of the academic materials and DVDs. Either way you choose, the academics are home study based. Students need to read the text books & watch the DVDs, or complete the PADI e-Learning course online, before the weekend academic sessions.
