PADI Open Water Scuba Diver Class & Pool
Description

Spring Special! Sign up for any weeknight class starting by the end of July! Complete Weeknight Scuba Class package $369
It’s the most exciting feeling imaginable! Breathing while floating weightless underwater, part of another world. This course, followed by Open Water Certification Dives, will teach you everything you need to independently scuba dive with a buddy to explore & discover the underwater realm. Our "How do I Learn?" page is a great place to get an overview of the options for learning to dive.

Choose weekend or weeknight classes. You can even schedule a private class for yourself, with or without friends & family! Credit classes (PEGN478) are also offered at Eastern Michigan University spring and winter semesters. Because you prepare with home-study and watch the video in advance, you spend lesson time practicing skills & learning how to be a safe, confident diver.

See what our graduates say about Huron Scuba training.

Once you complete your pool dives, choose your Open Water Certification weekend to get your "c-card," then join us in an Advanced class, a local fun dive, or on a tropical trip!  You can even complete your certification dives on one of our group trips, or by referral on your own vacation destination!

With plenty of scheduling flexibility and a Teaching Team with over 100 years of collective scuba teaching experience, Huron Scuba is your best choice for quality scuba training.
