Open Water Training Dives 2009

Open Water Training Dives are done after the class,and allow you to apply the skills and knowledge that you will have acquired in your class to a real diving environment while under the supervision of an Instructor. In the summer Water World does open water training dives at Lake Rawlings and Rolesville Quarry. It's rough, but in the winter we have to travel further south to Florida or the Caribbean. It's a tough life, but someone has to live it.
If you are already planning a trip and want to do your open water dives on your trip, just ask us about our referral program

Each student is responsible for transporting their own SCUBA gear (including two tanks, regulator, BC,wetsuit, and weight belt) for Open Water Dives. If you don't own your own gear,it is important to learn how to safely rent your scuba equipment. If you are renting from Water World, gear must be picked up prior to store closing the day before the Open Water Dives (in other words, on Friday). Please allow enough time (at least 30 minutes) for this before the store closing at 6pm. Air fills between days are included but you are responsible for transporting them to the store and getting them filled. Please don't forget to bring along your dive log book to start recording your dive history after your dives.
