diver begins with having the proper skills, equipment, training, and
knowledge that is received through the comfort through repetition training. The comfort through repetition training is explained below
with the 1, 2, 3 approach to teaching diving.
1. STUDY ACADEMIC
MATERIALS AT HOME.
Start your adventure today with our top-rated home study program. At your
convenience, and in the comfort of your own home, you review the text, watch
a full-motion video, and complete the end of chapter review questions/study
guide. The answers to each chapter are than transferred to student
answer sheets which we refer to as tickets to class. These tickets to
class are required by the instructor first night of class.
2. COMPLETE ACADEMIC
REVIEW & POOL SESSIONS
After expanding on the knowledge you bring to class with your "tickets to
class", completing an equipment review session, and academic examination, it's off to the pool to
become comfortable and proficient with your new scuba skills and equipment
under the guidance of a professional SCUBA SPHERE INSTRUCTOR.
3. COMPLETE OPEN
WATER CERTIFICATION DIVES
Let's go diving! You will join your SCUBA SPHERE INSTRUCTOR for two exciting
days of scuba diving. There you will apply all the knowledge and skills from
steps 1 and 2. You can make the dives locally or join a scheduled trip to a
diving destination. A referral can also be arranged if you already have a
vacation planned (which is taking paperwork showing your completion of your
academics and pool sessions to a certified referral participant and
finishing your diving for your certification on your vacation. Once
back from your vacation, bring back the completed paperwork and we will
finish the process of getting you your certification card).
