Completing your SCUBA Certification with your Open Water Qualifying Dives (also known as "Checkout Dives") is easy to do here at Bimini Undersea. Over the years, Bimini Undersea instructors have completed the training for hundreds of divers who began their SCUBA training at their hometown SCUBA Shop, YMCA, College, or Community Center. Open water training is fun, safe, and easy, and makes for the start of a great SCUBA diving getaway or vacation.

Open water training generally consists of 4 open water instructional dives done with one of our instructors. The 4 dives are done over 2 diving days. In addition to reviewing all that you have already done in your pool training, your instructor will teach you everything you need to know to safely dive in the boat diving, Caribbean environment. Training ratios are never more than 4 divers to 1 instructor, and, in many cases the ratio is 1 to 1.

The cost of the training is $175.00 over and above the cost of the diving. So, if someone is on a dive package, the only additional cost is the $175.00 training fee plus any additional rental equipment needed.

For those not already on a dive package, the total cost $373.00 plus any additional rental equipment needed. Divers must supply for themselves or rent — Click here for Rental Rates
