IF YOU FEEL YOU WOULD QUALIFY FOR FULL OR PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIP, SUBMIT THE FORM AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE.

As of 02/13/2024, scholarship status is this: 
If you are a veteran or individual living with disability, and will qualify for an UNASSISTED certification (meaning that you do NOT need help entering/exiting the water, or during the underwater dive), you may qualify for a partial scholarship.

If you WILL need help entering/exiting the water and/or to control your personal duties as a diver underwater (clearing your mask, regulating pressure, maintaining balance, etc), then you may qualify for a full scholarship. 

If you are unsure, feel free to submit the scholarship application.
BASIC OPEN WATER CERTIFICATION

ESCAPE to a different world. Scuba takes you to a different world with new colors, shapes, textures and creatures – a world where the roles you play – adventurer, pirate, protector, environmentalists, conversationalist – take on a new dimension of discovery. Become a scuba diver and escape to a peaceful place to renew your energy and excite your senses!

EXPLORE new places. Scuba diving frees you to explore the underwater world – from historic shipwrecks and pristine reefs to the mysteries of the deep blue. Become a scuba diver and explore what you’ve been missing …the “Aquatic World”!

EXPERIENCE a connection with nature: a feeling of freedom, and a transformation. Diving connects you with nature. It immerses you in new sensations and experiences. It transforms your perception of life forever. Become a scuba diver and transform yourself!

Basic Open Water SCUBA Diver Certification is an entry-level program developing your fundamental knowledge and skills to safely scuba dive in the open ocean. Just after becoming immersed in practical pool lessons and theory of the underwater environment you’ll be prepared to join new friends beneath the surface for an inner space experience. Once completed you and your dive buddies will be capable to go explore and discover new “Aquatic Adventures”.

The HSA Basic Open Water SCUBA Certification program lets you experience the thrill of diving under the supervision of a HSA Professional within the comforts of our calm, tranquil, heated pool environment followed by exhilorating ocean dives. During your adventure, you’ll master some basic concepts and SCUBA skills.

This is a certification course, based on physical perfromance standards, and may be credited towards the next program. This is a minimum of 30-hours course curriculum.

Your lesson will begin with a short Discover SCUBA video or flip chart briefing. Next you’ll enter the water for a sensational “Aquatic Adventure” blowing bubbles with SCUBA! The only things you need to provide are the smiles!

SCUBA Diving will change your LIFE!
