Why You Should Take This
Class |
 |
Scuba Superstore in Orange County California is very proud of
our certification course, it offers an opportunity to learn to handle
yourself correctly and safely in the ocean. We specialize in teaching
you self reliance within the buddy system, instead of dependance
on other divers or their equipment. Each student will demonstrate
competance and confidence with pool excersizes before attempting
the ocean. Our class's goal is to create a safe and confident diver.
If you are truly interested in learning to scuba dive, not just
get certified, this is the class for you! Our class has an emphasis
on surf safety (instead of the typical surf avoidance or ignorance).
Please be enthusiastic and ready to get wet. You will be in the
water and on scuba the first day. |
