The Resort Course (2- 4 hours) :
     For the beginner, we start with a lecture followed by confined water skills, including mask clearing, regulator recovery and clearing, use of equipment, buoyancy control and out of air emergency procedures. The course includes one dive.  After completing this course, you are allowed to dive again during your vacation by doing a "Repeat Resort Dive". These dives can be done at Stingray City. During any dive, an instructor always accompanies you. This course is recommended if you have never dove before and want to see if you like diving before you enroll in a full certification class.

The Open Water Referral :
      (Check Out) dives  a great program if you live in a area where there are no diving sites, or the conditions are not very good and you would rather do your certification dives in the Caribbean waters ... So you complete your entire academic and confined water at home with your local dive shop, they issue you a "referral form" and then you come down here to do your 4 certification dives. Those are done over 2 days (2 dives per day).  After completing the 4 compulsory dives, you will be certified and able to dive for the rest of your stay!


Advanced Open Water Diver :
     This course requires a total of 5 dives and can be completed in only 2 days. As in the Open Water Diver course, there is a book that you need to read. Reading it before hand will help speed up your course and allow you more free time to explore the island! The first part of the course is an afternoon with your instructor to go over what you have read and the skills you will be performing over the next two days. Then during the next two days, you will be completing your 5 open water dives. Two are mandatory, the deep dive and the navigation dive. The other 3 are electives and you have a wide list to chose from such as; search and recovery, night diver, multi-level, wreck, boat diver, peak performance buoyancy, photography and many more. Following the completion of the Advanced Open Water Diver certification, you can go on to Rescue Diver, which is followed by Divemaster. Or, you can chose to do Specialty courses such as Deep Diver, Wreck Diver, Photography etc.
