Open Water Scuba Certification
Apr 16, 2026 | 6:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Discover the underwater world with confidence and comfort in a private Open Water Scuba Certification course designed for just 2 to 4 people and run by a member of our community. Enjoy personalized instruction tailored to your pace, ensuring safety and mastery of essential skills without the distractions of a large group. The Open Water Scuba Certification is your passport to scuba diving around the world. You’ll gain the confidence to explore our vibrant reefs and marine life while joining our family of LGBTQIA+ dive buddies. The class begins with an evening orientation on the 19th, and then Day 1 will be pool work (confined water) and Day 2 will be two Open Water Shore Dives at Blue Heron Bridge, and Day 3 (Graduation Day!) will be two dives from a boat. Contact Patrick for all details, including information on how to get started with your e-learning.

 

Organizer: Patrick McGowan

Out Scuba believes that better trained divers make safer divers and increases the enjoyment of all participants on any dive. We include any training session(s) on our calendar because it is by an Out Scuba instructor member, offered only to Out Scuba members and includes reduced rates or added benefits you would not get if you registered for the training directly. Out Scuba, however, does not offer training, does not benefit financially from registrations, does not certify divers or instructors, does not vet or approve the instructors, and does not recommend any training or agency to you. If you believe this training will be of benefit to you, we encourage you to contact the organizer and satisfy any questions you have before you sign up.
