Four Open Water Training Dives are required to complete your certification, and should be done within six months of finishing your pool and classroom sessions. 

These can be completed through three methods:

1. Locally
We have local opportunities to complete your training! These are a great way to complete your training economically and close to home. Ask about our Bus Trips to Florida! The cost includes your four dives and rental gear for the two days of diving. 

2. Certification Vacation 
Certification Vacations are short trips for our students looking to complete their Training Dives. Certification Vacations allow students to complete their certification in clear, warm ocean waters with an experienced Diventures instructor. Click here to learn more or schedule your trip!

3. Referral
If you have a trip already planned, we can complete paperwork for you to do your training dives there. Because you haven't completed your full certification yet, you will need to partner with a store that teaches under the same training agency (SSI) to receive credit for the portion you've already completed.

Not Included:

• Price of trip or entrance fees, where applicable
• Physical certification card

All students complete a New Student Orientation to review details about the course, paperwork, required gear, and any questions you have. We prefer to conduct these a week before your first class. Typically the orientation takes about 90 minutes so we can:

• Help setup your SSI app
• Ensure you have access to all digital materials and understand what needs to be completed
• Complete any outstanding paperwork and review the medical form
• Review the required personal gear items and conduct a personal gear fitting for the items you need
• Explain how to setup your personal gear so that it's 'pool ready' for the first session
• Address any questions or concerns you have

You can reply to the course welcome email to get this scheduled.
