| Del Rio Divers has Basic Open Water certification
classes scheduled in September and October. They still have
room, but be aware that October will probably be it for the season -- you'll
have to wait until April or May to get certified locally after that. Send us an e-mail, go to
www.delriodivers.com or stop by
Amistad Outpost to get on the list.
The following dates have been lined up for Basic Open Water Diver
classes:
September 22-23
October 6-7
October 20-21
Please be aware that
students are expected to bring the following to the course:
Mask, snorkel, fins, wetsuit (suggest a 3mm shorty), booties (if you have
strap-type fins), dive knife (highly encouraged) and two passport sized
photos (1 3/4 in x 2 1/4 in). ADVANCED CLASS - If you are scheduled
for the AOW course be aware that a night dive and a deep dive are both part
of the course. You will need a primary and secondary dive light for
this course. Some sort of beacon is also advisable. The primary
light should be 10watt or higher, high intensity (typically a pistol-grip
type light). The secondary, often referred to as a BC light, is
smaller, usually using AA batteries. A beacon light can be any of the
flashing or non-flashing small lights typically strung to the diver's tank,
or as simple as one of those chemical light sticks available where camping
supplies are sold.
Details:
Purchase your Basic Open Water Crew Pack (includes manual, dive tables,
training dive log) and coursework DVD (available at Amistad Outpost).
Rental of BC, regulator, tanks, weights is also available at Amistad
Outpost. If equipment is not available at class time, instructor can
provide them. Bring a passport photo (for your certification card).
Upon completion of the course the instructor will issue you a temporary card
and deliver your permanent certification card upon arrival from PADI. |
