Upon completion of the course there is an open water diving experience required to become fully certified. This is scheduled after the course is completed or a referral letter can be issued. See your instructor for more information about this.
After all coursework and open water requirements have been completed you will receive your Scuba Educators International (SEI) certification. We offer the option of also receiving a National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI) certification card but extra coursework and fees will apply. Certification cards from both agencies and wall certificates can be purchased at an additional fee.
