Accelerated Weekend Courses

This accelerated course is action-packed and very demanding of your time and attention. You must be comfortable with mask, snorkel and fins before enrolling in this program. Because of the schedule, there is little time to acclimate to getting water in the face.

You must have read the book, watched the DVD, and completed all of the end-of-chapter study guides prior to the start of class on Friday evening.

The schedule is as follows:

• Friday Evening, 6:30-10:30: Discuss schedule, watch Risk Awareness DVD, fill out and sign paperwork, and demonstrate individual skills. This is also where we introduce the use of scuba equipment in the water.
• Saturday, 9:00-5:00: Briefly go through the book, discuss and answer any questions, then adjourn to the pool for snorkeling and scuba skills.
• Sunday, 9:00-5:00: Complete water skills begun Saturday, review for and take written test provided all paperwork is turned in.

Because of the accelerated schedule, weekend students are invited to come to other scheduled pool nights at no additional charge — with advance notice. 2010 dates include:

*Students do not necessarily have to complete open-water training on this weekend; it is simply the next one available. See below for a complete list of available open-water training weekends.

**Students have the option to wait until our March open-water training weekends, complete their dives on one of our group trips, or on a vacation trip of their own.

Available Open-Water Training Weekends

Following classroom and pool training, you will need to complete two days of open-water training. 2010 dates include:

• September 18-19
