Our Premium format is a great option for people who are looking for a slower and more intimate class experience for their PADI Open Water Diver class.

 

First off…all our Premium format classes are limited in size to no more than 6 participants per class (whereas our Standard format classes can include up to 10).

 

Also…our Premium format classes are conducted over a consecutive 2-weekend period. That’s great for people who want a slower and less strenuous class experience from our Standard Format.

​

Only $599 per person (+ tax)

 

*The “Bring a Buddy” discount is not available for our Premium Format classes
