The Scuba Shack is the most active and experienced dive shop in the Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky area. Our safety record is perfect. We have trained and certified 5,000+ safe, comfortable, competent SCUBA divers! The Scuba Shack provides fun, relaxed, safe SCUBA training. You will learn to dive at your pace… according to your schedule.
WHAT IS SCUBA CERTIFICATION?
SCUBA certification consists of 3 elements:
1. – Academic training (digital home study and classroom review)
2. – Confined-water training (pool training) and,
3. – Certification dives (done in an unstructured “open-water” environment)
ALL 3 elements are required for SCUBA certification.
At The Scuba Shack, we provide complete, comprehensive, professional scuba diving training on an individual basis in a relaxed, casual classroom and pool setting. With our flexible scheduling and modular ON-LINE teaching system, you can complete your classroom, lessons, and pool requirements in just a few days… on weekdays… or weeknights… or weekends.
All classroom and pool training is conducted at The Scuba Shack.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Most people are ready to “move-on” to their Open-Water Certification dives after 4 class and pool training sessions! However, if more training and practice is needed for the student and/or the instructor to feel completely comfortable, we will simply arrange additional sessions… AT NO ADDITIONAL COST.
WHEN ARE THE LESSONS?
We know that YOUR TIME is very important. The Scuba Shack provides an on-line academic training course which allows students to work at home. Then, we offer several options for completion of the class and pool sessions of SCUBA certification training.
You may complete your class & pool training by attending our small group classes
