The final step to becoming a certified Open Water Scuba Diver requires four dives in an open water setting. Dives are conducted over two days at the The Crater in Midway, Utah. This is a 90 degree, 65 foot deep hot spring, with visibility ranging from 40-60 feet!

Introducing a diver to the benefits of controlling his buoyancy usually has a great positive effect, an effect that will enhance the diver's sense of enjoyment and feeling of accomplishment. This specialty is designed to increase the open water diver's understanding of the factors that influence buoyancy, and to train the diver how to use the means available to him as methods for controlling his buoyancy. The added benefits to the marine and freshwater environments, cannot be overstated; as well as a diver that has better control of himself in conjunction with his environment.

This on-line course is the first step to becoming a certified SCUBA diver and experiencing the amazing underwater world. You can start your training now, just pick any available date it does not matter. You will need to do pool sessions at a later time at an additional expense, ( $195 ). However, the online course does not need to be complete before signing up for the pool sessions. To complete the certification, you will do four open water dives. These 4 dives can be done locally in a hot spring or high mountain lake. You may choose to do them in a tropical destination on one of our trips or on your on own. The additional cost for the four Open Water dives is $299 when completed with Beaver Divers.
