Columbus Scuba is excited to start your Open Water certification adventure! We have a staff of over 60 professionals with years of experience and extensive qualifications. Our Open Water courses include PADI eLearning (online academics), 4 pool sessions done once a week for 4 weeks, typically on a Saturday or Sunday evening. In this 4 week course you will become confident with the 24 SCUBA skills you need for certification. You will then schedule your 4 open water check out dives completed over the course of a weekend at Gilboa Quarry located about 2 hours north of Columbus, near Findlay. All the necessary gear will be provided with the exception of mask, fins, boots and snorkle for the pool and quarry sessions.

The Open Water course has three segments:


• Academics: Through eLearning you will learn the basics of diving techniques, how diving affects your body, diving safety, equipment selection and maintenance, dive planning, and preview the skills you'll learn in the water.

 

• Confined Water: (pool sessions) In a pool you'll learn all the basic skills you'll need to be confident and safe to enjoy scuba diving. You'll meet once a week, for 4 weeks, on consecutive days (for example: 4 sundays in a row).

 

• Open Water Dives: (open body of water, such as a clear quarry or ocean).  Here you'll practice all the skills you've already mastered in confined water out in open water.  We do these over the course of a weekend at Gilboa Quarry.  You will need to book these seperately.  Open Water Dives must be completed within 6 months of your final pool session or a Refresher course will be required prior to doing the Open Water dives.
