Explore the underwater world and get your Scuba Diving Certification with Sharky's Open Water Class!

The Open Water Class is a beginners class where no prior experience is necessary.  Students will be required to
pre-register at Sharky's and fill out a few forms. 

There is an online, independent studies portion of the class prior to getting into the water.  The in-water portion of the
class is conducted on our pool days that are held once a month followed by a minimum of two days of ocean diving.
