THE CLASSIC (CITY) PACKAGE
This package, as the name implies, is the classic way of getting SDI or PADI Open Water certified with Athens Scuba. This is a four day course.
By following the three steps of SDI education, you’ll learn everything that is required to becoming a certified Open Water Diver.
Knowledge Development
After signing up for the course with Athens Scuba, we’ll send you an email with all the necessary information as well as a link to the eLearning website with your personal login to the eLearning materials. From here, you’ll be able to access your eLearning materials from anywhere, on your own schedule.
Skill Development
Once you’ve completed the Knowledge Development, we’ll start working on skill development in the Confined Water sessions. We’ll meet twice at Oconee Aquatics & Recreation to work on all required skills for the Open Water Diver certification. Each time we’ll meet for about 3 hours. This will give us plenty of time to develop your skills to get you ready for taking the next step.
Open Water Check Out Dives
After completing your skill training, we’ll be going to the beautiful Lake Jocassee in South Carolina for a weekend to do two dives on Saturday and two dives on Sunday. Athens Scuba makes everyone’s dive experience comfortable and easy. We use custom dive boats that get you to the best dive spots on the lake within just a few minutes. You don’t have to carry heavy stuff around or exhaust yourself during your Open Water Diver course.
There are options to stay the night at the lake. There is a diver’s camp ground and two basic bunk cabins right at the dive shop which Athens Scuba uses as a base for its Lake Jocassee operation.
