Core Scuba Diving Classes

---

 Have you always wondered what it's like to breathe underwater? If you want to try scuba diving, but aren't quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, Discover Scuba Diving is for you. You can try scuba right here in our Colleyville pool. While not a scuba certification course, Discover Scuba Diving is a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world. You must be at least 10 years old. No prior experience with scuba diving is necessary, but you need to be in reasonable physical health.  

Steps: Register, Complete Paperwork and eLearning Remotely, and Pool Dive!

 This course is for the certified diver who has been inactive for a period of time and wishes to review the scuba skills and academic information before starting to dive again. To participate, the individual must have proof of an Open Water Scuba Diver or higher/equivalent from a recognized dive training organization including but not limited to SDI, PADI, SSI, or NAUI.  Options: 

• $179.99 Pool Only: Complete eLearning independently and join us in the pool for a couple of hours to refresh gear assembly/dissasembly and key in-water skills.  
• $299.99 Full Refresh: eLearning followed by joining a full open water diver class to go through all pool and open water dives. Nice option for parents to join their kids. 

The SDI Rescue Diver Course is designed to develop the knowledge and necessary skills to effectively perform diver rescues and assist and administer the necessary first aid in the event of an emergency. You will learn skills such as how to perform self rescues, buddy rescues, recognize and calm potential panic divers, administer proper first aid to divers that have experienced dive related injuries, conduct effective search patterns and manage accident scenes. 

Prerequisite: 10 years old, advanced diver, CPR & 1st aid certification (we offer concurrently) 

The air in our atmosphere is approximately 79% nitrogen (N2) and 21% oxygen (O2). An enriched air tank contains air blended with pure O2, typically increasing O2 between 32% to 36%. Absorbing less N2 while diving greatly diminishes post-dive fatigue. Dive longer, more safely, and feel more energized so you can enjoy all of your vacation time! We can conduct this class concurrently with Open Water Diver, as part of Advanced Adventurer, or separately. Training dives are not required, so we can even meet for coffee and complete this certification whenever and wherever it is convenient. 

 As the saying goes, leave only bubbles and take only pictures! It is easy and fun to capture images and videos of your underwater scuba diving adventures. This is a two-dive specialty, with the first dive either in a pool or lake. This class also features a workshop to download photos from the camera to your smart phone, edit, save to Dropbox, and if you want, share to social media. Camera rental is included. See what's included for other gear information. Ages 10 and up.

Christopher wrote this distinctive specialty so it is a rare certification to obtain! The course includes diving four different dive sites within the state of Texas or in a vessel launched from a Texas shore. Each dive location must be at least 25 miles apart. You'll learn the history of the sites and get a dive-site orientation for each place visited.  

See the Texas Lone Star State Distinctive Specialty Diver page for details about this course. See what's included for gear information. Open to certified Divers aged 10 and up.

 The thought of dipping below the surface at night seems mysterious, yet so alluring. Although you've been scuba diving at a site many times before, at night you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light. The scene changes as day creatures retire and nocturnal organisms emerge. If you've wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, sign up! Dive light rental is $30 if needed and see what's included for other gear information. This is a two dive specialty typically conducted in one evening, starting diving at twilight. Open to Certified Divers aged 10 and up.

It happens: People accidentally drop things from docks, off boats or even while scuba diving. If you've ever lost something in the water and wanted to go find it, then the SDI Search and Recovery Diver Specialty course is for you. There are effective ways to search for objects underwater that increase your chances of success and good and better methods to bring up small, large or just awkward items. Search and recovery can be challenging, but a whole lot of fun. Use of lift bags and ropes are provided for use and please see what's included for other gear. This is a one-day two-dive specialty. Open to Advanced Adventure Divers aged 15 and up.

Take the SDI Underwater Naturalist Specialty course and you'll see new things, even on the most familiar scuba diving sites. Why? Because when know more about symbioses, underwater ecology, and aquatic plant and animal habitats, you notice behaviors and see creatures you may have previously missed. Learn more about the local ecosystem and take a closer look on your next scuba diving adventure. Please see what's included for gear information. This is a two dive specialty conducted on one lake day. Open to Certified Divers aged 10 and up.

 “What was that fish?” is a common question heard after a dive. If you want to be the scuba diver with the answers, instead of the one asking the questions, then take the Fish Identification Specialty course. You'll enjoy your dives even more when you recognize the creatures that you see and can identify the main fish families and their characteristics.  Please see what's included for gear information. This is a two dive specialty conducted on one lake day. Open to Certified Divers aged 10 and up.
