KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK

What's included with Open Water?

Included in your course price

  • PADI Open Water eLearning and required course materials, purchased and assigned by Robert Box Diving
  • Standard PADI certification processing upon successful course completion
  • Private PADI Open Water instruction and skill development
  • Confined-water instruction and scheduled pool access
  • Instructor-led training for the four required open-water dives

Student-arranged expenses

  • All required scuba equipment (rented or owned)
  • Scuba tank (cylinder) rentals and air fills for both pool training and open-water dives
  • Open-water dive-site admission and access charges
PADI eLearning and certification — included

I purchase and assign the required PADI Open Water eLearning to each enrolled student. The cost is included in the advertised course price—there is no separate PADI materials charge for this course. Standard certification processing is also included after successful completion of all training requirements. Please do not purchase eLearning independently before enrolling.

Important equipment policy

Students coordinate and pay for all required gear, tanks, and air fills directly with a dive shop or rental provider of their choice. Robert Box Diving does not provide, rent, sell, or arrange student equipment. I can answer questions about what you need before your course.

RECREATIONAL DIVING · DIVEMASTER-LED

Dates, location, and suitability depend on weather, site conditions, certification, and recent diving experience.

Focused training—not a rush to certification.

Course schedules and locations are arranged personally. Pool access for scheduled confined-water training is included, and the pool location will be confirmed before training. Open-water site fees remain the student's responsibility.

PADI certification requires successful completion of all course requirements, not simply attendance or completion of a set number of dives. If additional training sessions are needed, we'll discuss scheduling and any additional charges beforehand.

For specialty courses, refreshers, or individually tailored diving days, please request an inclusive course quote. Where required, PADI learning materials and standard certification processing will be included in the quoted course price. Standard private recreational guided-dive rates are listed above.
