Referral Program - Completing Your Certification in Maui
For those interested in becoming certified we recommend that you: Do the bookwork and confined water (pool) lessons with a dive shop in your hometown, and then do your Referral Dives (aka Open Water Dives) in beautiful Maui waters with us! This is the way to go! Complete your academic and pool work at home! This allows you to learn at a pace that fits your schedule and to learn the basic skills in a pool. While on Maui, you'll complete your certification by performing your four open water dives in only two days. We meet
for about 5 hours on each of those days and usually finish around lunchtime. During those 5 hours each day you can expect to review your skills with your instructor prior to entering the water, and receive special attention to your individual needs. Our classes are semi-private, and when there's more than 3 or 4 students we bring along another divemaster/instructor (at no additional charge to you) to insure that you get the attention you deserve! This ratio is half the industry standard - we want you to get the attention you need in order to become a well prepared and safe new diver!
Your time in the water with your instructor is spent adjusting to diving in the ocean, touring the reef, and using and refining the skills you learned in the pool. It's a lot of fun, and often less stressful than doing the entire certification course in only 3 days. Your time here learning to dive is cut in half which gives you more time for boat diving trips to Molokini and other incredible sites, as well as land based adventures! (Remember to wait at least 12 hours after diving before participating in an activity where you ascend to altitude, such as helicopter rides or trips to Haleakala our 10,000 ft. crater!)
We look forward to sharing Maui's underwater beauty and adventure with you! |
