Here is
where it all
begins.
Learning to
scuba dive is an
incredible
experience,
something most
people never
forget.
Breathing
underwater, the
feeling of
weightlessness
and the freedom
to move among
the aquatic
animals cannot
be matched by
any other
recreational
activity. Anyone
who is at least
12 years old,
healthy and
comfortable in
the water can
learn to safely
scuba dive.
In your Basic
course you will
be instructed on
the equipment
needed to dive,
how it works and
how to use it
safely. The
academic portion
(classroom) of
the course
covers basic
diving
techniques, how
your body is
affected when
diving, dive
planning, basic
rescue
procedures and a
preview of the
skills you will
practice in the
water.
Now the
fun begins!
First you'll
start, in the
pool, with skin
diving or
snorkeling
skills. Becoming
comfortable with
mask, fins and
snorkel is the
foundation of a
competent scuba
diver. Next,
your instructor
will demonstrate
and have you
practice skills
needed to become
proficient in
the use of
scuba.
And it
gets better!
Once you are
comfortable with
all the pool
skills it's off
to the Ocean.
Here is where
you demonstrate
your proficiency
with the skills
in open water.
The instructor
will teach you
basic techniques
needed to plan
and execute a
safe dive in a
local area of
beautiful
Southern
California. We
have some of the
best diving
right off our
coast.
After
successfully
completing 5
ocean dives and
passing a
written exam you
be awarded the
Los Angeles
County Basic
Scuba Diver
Card. This
prestigious card
shows you have
completed one of
the best, most
comprehensive
entry level
training courses
available.
Your
adventure
begins!
Dive safe, dive
often and
continue you
education. |
