Classroom and Pool Information

Our first session is a classroom session beginning at 6 pm on Friday evening. We will meet from 8 am to 8 pm on Saturday and 8 am to about 5 pm on Sunday. Times vary slightly depending on numbers and progression. The cost for classroom and pool instruction as well as all the equipment you need is $175. Members of the YMCA in Jamestown get a $10 discount. You'll need a PADI instruction kit including manual, dive tables, log book and other resources. The cost of the kit is $55.59 + shipping and tax.

What to bring

Bring a towel, bathing suit and a heavy pair of socks. Also bring your PADI manual, completed Knowledge Reviews, paper and a pen.

Extra things to think about

Numbers are limited and it's important to have your manual read prior to Friday's session so pre-register as soon as possible. Pre-registering will guarantee your spot and give you the chance to receive your manual. Diving with your own equipment can enhance your diving and learning experience. We offer our students a sizable discount on mask/fins/snorkel packages if you choose to have these items for personal use during the course. You may want to consider doing your open water dives on one of our dive trips. Talk to us about other open water options.
