Why PADI Open Water?

As a certified PADI Open Water Diver, the most widely recognized and respected rating in the world, you have the freedom to dive with a buddy independent of a professional.

What do I need to start?

Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification. If you are between 10 and 14 or have a child between these ages, there is a PADI Junior Open Water Diver program available.

A PADI Jr Open Water Diver between the ages of 10 and 12 years may only dive with a PADI Professional, a certified parent or certified guardian to a maximum depth of 12 meters/40 feet.

What will I do?

Wes Ayers, Master Instructor and/or Dive Master since 1989,  will guide you throughout the course, you’ll learn fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques. You earn this rating by completing confined water skills in the pool. We have scuba lessons in Gallatin TN. and Hendersonville TN. Scuba in the pool is when the fun really begins!

PADI programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of the course skills. This allows you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you.
