OPEN WATER DIVER CLASS SCHEDULE

We strive to schedule as many classes as possible for the convenience of our clients. But in order for us to conduct a class, we need to have a minimum of five students per class. If we do not achieve that for a scheduled class, we will contact you one week prior to reschedule you into our next scheduled class.
