OPEN WATER TRAINING Twin Lakes & the Blue Lagoon are the most popular inland diving and training areas in the state. We DO NOT force expensive trips to Mexico, nor do we threaten our students with some local unimproved diving area as an alternative to expensive travel. Scuba vacations are great for the already certified diver, but are of little value during entry level training sessions when you are busy perfecting, and being tested on your new skills. Low stress, safe, non-threatening dive environments are practical when considering the convenience and cost.
SECURITY DEPOSIT It is the students responsibility to care for all our Scuba equipment once removed from the store. Credit card imprint, or approved personal check is utilized for the $350.00 security deposit and this is NOT CASHED OR PROCESSED unless loss or damage to OUR equipment is experienced. If you are using YOUR own certified DIVE READY and inspected Scuba hardware, this security deposit is NOT required.
CLASS SCHEDULE Please call 281-493-0344 for current new class starting dates. Starting dates can change frequently due to weather. Class size is limited to only 10 students to provide you with the personal attention you deserve. Our weekend only classes are extremely popular. Please note that all local open water entry level Scuba training is shut down from December 1st to February 1st of each year due to the extremely cold water temperatures at the open water training sites. Only Advanced Open Water level training & Specialty Ratings are offered during the winter months.
PRIVATE LESSONS & TRANSFER STUDENTS - SUMMER (Prices valid May through September only) Custom scheduled lesson plans are available for those with demanding employment profiles. Many prefer the faster, more personalized service. For those whose time is valuable, the additional expense is cost effective, and convenient. Because these private lesson are taught on a one to one basis, the cost is higher. Training can proceed as fast as the student can absorb the information. Tuition for one student is $395.00 each. For two students at the same time, the cost is reduced to only $350.00 each. For 3 or more the price is reduced to $325.00 each.

WHAT PERSONAL EQUIPMENT YOU WILL NEED TO PROVIDE Our students only need to provide their own personal snorkeling equipment. This allows for proper sizing, and safe personal hygiene. Would you share a tooth brush with a stranger? Of course not, then why use a strangers snorkel? You will need a Scuba rated mask, strap fins, wetsuit booties, snorkel, and a weight belt system. A good quality equipment transport bag is recommended. We provide the expensive scuba hardware, but you must have your own swim suit & towel & snorkeling gear. Contact our staff BEFORE the first class meeting for correct size fitting! Correctly sized and well fitting equipment is a critical factor in your training comfort level and safety!

STILL NOT QUITE SURE IF THE SPORT OF SCUBA IS FOR YOU? We recommend purchasing the PADI approved student training kit and reviewing all the materials BEFORE signing up for the course. This will assist you in making an intelligent decision with all the facts & knowledge at hand. The worse thing that can happen from reading the book & watching the DVD is that you might learn something about the majority of your planet that is hidden below the sea. Now would be a good time to turn off those TV reruns, and pull that EJECT lever on your leather Lazyboy chair!
