Intro 

A scuba diving license has two levels:

-The Open Water Certification (OW) is an entry-level autonomous diver certification for recreational scuba diving, limited to dive within the depth of 18 meters

-Advanced Open Water Diver (AOWD) is a recreational scuba diving certification level, limited to dive within the depth of 30 meters.

This time we will bring you OW certification class by United Divers Inc. The course is broken into two parts- four Saturday of academic and pool sessions, followed by a weekend of open water dives. This course is open to everyone ages 12-100+ (12-17 with parental consent), and will enable you to dive down to 60 feet (18 meters).
