Ocean Diver Program
Divers are getting certified in lakes with low visibility, no currents and lack of underwater animals to see and interact with. That’s why we have created a new course that takes the existing Open Water Certification Course and adds an additional section with items related to diving in the ocean: currents, marine life, weighting for salt water, etc.
This course allows our Open Water Instructors to give new students all the information they need to become a confident and comfortable ocean diver, and not only a lake diver!
Most scuba stores in Arizona, including Scuba Professionals of Arizona use Lake Pleasant as their primary place for certification dives since it is local and easy to get to. Now, the lake is a great place to get comfortable with diving in general. The problem with lake diving is it does not prepare you to dive with ocean currents or waves at the beach. Once a diver who was certified at the lake gets to the ocean it can become very intimidating and put them outside their comfort zone.
Over the years we have developed a new way to become certified that guarantees you the best in scuba diving education. Now you will be ready for either lake or ocean diving and all that may come with it.
