PADI and NAUI Open Water Scuba Diver Courses

If you've always wondered what lies beneath the surface, now's the time to find out and add some depth to your life! Start the journey of a lifetime with Do Dive In's Open Water Diver Course. It will change your life forever!

Your first SCUBA course is the foundation upon which a lifetime of safe, fun underwater exploration is built. You don't want to cut corners here! Your safety and enjoyment depend on the quality of the training which you receive. And our Open Water Diver course is the most comprehensive in the Peoria area taught by a staff of experienced dive professionals whose focus is to provide you with the best training possible.

Becoming a certified SCUBA diver consists of three phases: knowledge development, much of which, if not all, you can do in the comfort of your own home through the use of self study materials, pool diving, where you'll have fun learning the real world skills that will prepare you for your many diving adventures to come, and open water training where you'll apply the skills that you mastered in the pool.

Prior to the start of training, you'll attend a class orientation where you will complete all the necessary course paper work, including a medical history form, and review course logistics and schedule. You will also pick up your student kit and receive your home study assignments which need to be completed prior to the first class. To finish the orientation, your instructor will conduct a brief scuba equipment orientation, and professionally fit your equipment.

Prerequisites: You must be at least 10 years old, in reasonable physical condition, and possess basic swimming skills.

Provided by Student: Your own scuba quality mask, fins, snorkel and wet suit boots. Do Dive In has a wide selection of equipment to choose from at very reasonable and competitive prices.

Do Dive In Provides: All books & materials, use of all scuba equipment, including wet suits, for all pool sessions and open water dives.

Open Water Training Dives

This is the last step before you become a certified scuba diver! You can complete the 4 (PADI) or 5 (NAUI) required dives with us locally or on one of our Caribbean diving adventures. Or, if you already have a trip planned, you can complete the dives with an instructor at your destination. Included in the fee is tuition, the use of all scuba diving equipment for the dives, and one certification fee. Lake entry fees and any travel expenses are extra. Depending on the certification level of your open water instructor, dual certification as a PADI Open Water Diver and NAUI Scuba Diver may be available for an additional fee.
