SCUBA
The Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) open-water diver course covers proper use of masks, fins, snorkel and underwater breathing apparatus in the West Gym swimming pool. Open-water dives may be arranged at additional cost outside of class if certification is desired. Swimming proficiency is a prerequisite. Instruction in various environmental wellness issues is also discussed. Students must provide a medical release form indicating good health, particularly freedom from cardio-respiratory problems. You are expected to bring a swimsuit to class on the first night. This course is assessed two (2) non-refundable fees upon registration ($30 locker/towel fee and $60 pool/lifeguard fee). This course has an additional charge of $350. + tax payable to Deep Water Scuba, which includes all training materials and additional support/safety staff. HWS activity courses have strict attendance policies as physical participation in class is a major part of the course.
