UICC Registration

Registration for our Underwater Instructor Certification Course is quite simple.  The process consists of completing the current year's UICC Application Packet, NAUI Waiver, LA County Photo Release form and the NAUI Medical Evaluation and Physician Approval form.

All of these forms are available on our UICC Forms Page right here on our website.  The forms are in PDF format so you will need Adobe Reader in order to view and download them.  If you do not have Adobe Reader on your computer, please click here to download the software from their website.

Due to the intense nature of this program, all participants are required to have signed medical clearance and approval prior to any open water instruction.

If you have any questions, please email us at apply@lacountyscuba.com or call us at (323) 726-2155.

NAUI PREP Program 
This is a non-certification program, attendance at which is a NAUI Instructor Training Course (ITC) prerequisite for any person not certified as a NAUI Assistant Instructor or Divemaster. The program includes both instruction and evaluation.

Enrollees receive the information needed to prepare for NAUI Instructor training. They are given knowledge, water skill and other performance evaluations, critiques and counseling to ensure that they are aware of their state of preparedness for entering NAUI Instructor training.

Upon completion of the PREP Program, each participant will receive a written summary of staff recommendations regarding their readiness for Instructor training. It is the responsibility of the individual participant to use this and other knowledge gained in deciding when to enter an ITC. Any number of PREPs may be attended if re-evaluation of preparedness is desired.

Provided all other ITC prerequisites are met, PREP registrants who are not certified as NAUI Leaders may attend a NAUI ITC at any time within one (1) year of PREP completion.

If you have not completed a NAUI PREP Program, LA County Scuba offers this training prior to the start of each UICC for those potential candidates needing it to gain acceptance into UICC.

For more information on the availability and fees associated with the NAUI PREP Program call (323) 726-2155 or email us at apply@lacountyscuba.com
