Pool Training

Your pool training sessions will last between 2 and 4 hours long. You will need to be comfortable in your pool for that amount of time. If your pool is not a heated pool and you are concerned about getting cold, we will provide you with a rental wetsuit or help you select a new one to use during your training.

Our training standards require that we use a pool with water "too deep to stand up in." For an adult that would be 7 feet or over. For a child that could be as shallow as 5 feet. Our training staff will evaluate your pool to insure that it meets training standards and will discuss other options if needed.
Checkout Dives
Checkout dives are conducted locally at one of our many dive parks. Your instructor will bring all your equipment to the dive site for you and will return it to the shop for you. The Concierge Referral option is designed for those that would like to do their checkout dives in a dive destination or on a dive trip. Ask about taking your instructor with you to your destination!

Not at all! We have students as young as 10 learn to dive so anyone can do it. If you need some extra attention in class, we offer private classes too. It's very rare that someone does not get certified.
You have to be 10 yrs old to get certified. For the younger kids, check out our Seal Team and Bubblemaker classes.
You need to be comfortable in the water. During your pool session you will do a 10 minute float and swim 200 yds (any style and we don't time you).
Assuming you don't have any ear or sinus issues, you shouldn't have a problem. If you are concerned you should speak with your doctor. In class we will teach you how to equalize your ears so your ears won't hurt.
There are a couple options if you don't want to dive in the lake. Depending on availability, we may be able to schedule your dives at Spring Lake in San Marcos. Or you can join one of our group trips and complete your certification on a trip.
