Getting SCUBA certified is as easy as 1,2,3! 

1.  You will begin the eLearning process online with a PC, mobile device, or tablet.

2. The next step will be to complete your 4 in-water skill-development training. This takes place in a swimming pool or similar body of confined water, under the supervision of an SDI Instructor. 

3.  The final step is to complete the required number of SDI open-water training dives under the supervision of your SDI Instructor.
