FAQs

What are the prerequisites?

  • Open Water
  • Standard SCUBA, without #FlappySnagHazards

Is this a technical diving class?

We will not exceed our No Decompression Limit or go into overhead, so you can make a direct ascent to the surface at all times. Although, you can go for much longer scooter rides if you bring two tanks.

Do I need to have my own gear?

Ownership is not a requirement, but let's chat about your goals beforehand. We can get you into good gear with a hefty student discount.

Do I need to have my own DPV?

The DPV rental is included for the course and any "bonus dives" added after the course. The class is free with the purchase of a Blacktip or Cuda DPV.
