  PADI Open Water Diver

          

Welcome to the FANTASTIC Underwater World!!

This is where it all begins!!  This course is designed to introduce you to all the necessary knowledge, skills and training to provide you and your buddy the ability to dive safely and with confidence.  The PADI Open Water program is the most comprehensive in the industry.  You will find it covers everything...including, but not limited to buoyancy control...one of the most important skills you can learn.  It will affect you, those around you and let's not forget the environment in general.  Upon close investigation of other beginning training courses you will not find buoyancy control in their skill set.   That is just one example of why PADI courses are the standard...not the shortcut! 

We are proud to offer our Open Water Diver Course to you for $215.00.  The most experienced staff at the most reasonable prices... because you are important to us and we value your business!

Price Includes:

PADI Open Water Diver Manual, RDP-Repetitive Dive Tables, PADI Log Book, DAN and PADI brouchures, all classroom and pool training, 4 Open Water checkout dives, PADI Open Water or Jr. Open Water Certification Card and Free 6 month subscription to Dive Training Magazine.                                                   

Price does not include:

Mask, snorkel, fins and boots.  If you have this equipment or are borrowing it...we reserve the right to inspect it and make sure it is okay for your training.   If you need to purchase this equipment we offer our students a 15% discount on any and all purchases during your training. As a bonus, with your mask, fins, boots and snorkel purchase, we'll throw in a deluxe mesh gear bag for you to carry everything in...absolutely FREE!  Blue Meridian carries a full line of scuba gear for your every need.  

One of our most asked questions is how much will this gear cost me?   It varies and depends solely on what you select...but in general you are looking at a range of $110 to $225 for top quality gear with most purchases falling somewhere in the middle. We are proud to offer you Sherwood, Genesis, Akona, Henderson, Deep See and Cressi-Sub products...some of the industries most respected and reliable manufacturers.

All other equipment (BCD, regulator, tanks, wetsuits, weights) is provided for you in the pool sessions.  If you need to use this equipment for your check out weekend we charge a small rental fee of $35 for the entire weekend and we cover all airfills for your training.  

 Entry fees to the quarry, where your training is completed, is not covered.  Those fees are paid directly to the quarry operators and they are $20per person/per day.  Some dive centers include this in their pricing...we choose to let you deal one on one with the quarry operators.  

So add it up....our competitors claim they have great pricing....we beg to differ.  Your total cost for an Open Water Certification, not including your mask, snorkel, fins and boots purchase will be $290.00 (Course $215, rental $35 and entrance fees to quarry $40).  Compare and contrast our offer with any of our competitors.  We provide quality training with the most experienced staff for a reasonable price... because at Blue Meridian...it's all about you! 

We also offer group discounts and specials!
