Four Open Water Training Dives are required to complete your certification, and should be done within six months of finishing your pool and classroom sessions.
These can be completed through three methods:
- Locally
We have local opportunities to complete your training during the summer season. These include rental gear for two days of training.
- Certification Vacation
Certification Vacations are short trips exclusively for our students who are looking to complete their Open Water Certification Dives. An easy flight from the U.S., Certification Vacations offer students the chance to complete their certification in clear, warm ocean waters with an experienced Diventures instructor. No more waiting until the weather is just right or diving through murky lake waters. These vacations allow you to dive any time of the year!
There are six spots available on each Certification Vacation trip. This ratio allows for each student to get individualized attention from their instructor. For most students, this will be their first-time swimming in the ocean. Knowing you are doing it under the watchful eye of an expert makes for a confidence-building experience.

- Referral
If you have an upcoming trip you already planned, we can complete paperwork for you to do your training dives there. Because you haven't completed your full certification yet, you will need to partner with a store that teaches under the same training agency (SSI) in order to receive credit for the portion you've already completed.
Availability: In Stock

Gift Purchase: If this is a gift and you need help keeping this a surprise, please give the store a call to assist.
Medical Clearance: To participate, you will need a clean bill of health or a physician's approval to dive. This form will be sent to you following registration and needs to be completed prior to your first session, including physician approval, if applicable. If you do not receive medical clearance from your physician for whatever reason, then we will issue a full refund for the course.
