Then you should try the PADI Discover Scuba Diving Program.  In just one day you will be scuba diving in the ocean under the instruction of one of our master scuba diver trainers. This is not a certification class but it can count towards the Open Water class.

1. PADI OPEN WATER DIVER WITH BOOK AND DVD (3 DAYS)
   A very popular and the most economical way to get certified. This class starts almost every Friday year round, takes just three days and includes a day of diving in Key Largo.

   The e-leaning portion (academic work, quizzes and exam) is done in the comfort of your home or anywhere with an internet connection. This class is also ideal for those coming from overseas where shipping the training materials is expensive and the U.S. DVD's do not play correctly abroad.

   You pick any day to do the academic and pool work (done one on one with one of our instructors) and then two days of open water diving. There may or may not be other students with you on the open water dives.
   
   
5. PRIVATE PADI OPEN WATER CLASS
   This class is one on one for the whole three days and we will make a schedule that will fit your needs. If you prefer, we can come to your home for the academic and pool session if your pool is at least 7' deep and live in the Miami Beach area.
