How Private Scuba Training Works

The biggest advantage to private scuba training is your ability to schedule the training around your busy Schedule. Even though we still have to work around availability of our training sites,  private scuba training offers much more flexibility than a traditional scuba class. I can  accommodate up to 4 students in the class.  Our dive professional ratio will always 2 students to 1 dive professional. This allows for maximum Safety and comfort of our students.  It also allows the pace of the training to comfortable for our students. 

The cost of the training is $500.00. This cost includes the e learning materials as well as the use of my gear throughout the duration of the class. I will not require you to purchase gear prior to the training. the only additional expense will be the park entry fee each day of your checkout dives. this fee ranges from $25-$30 per day depending on the training facility we use.

Please  complete the student information packet and E mail to garyp47859@gmail.com.  Once I get the Packet and review the information, I will either approve you for training or  request more information if necessary. Once you are approved for training I will send  you my Venmo information for payment. Payment I will issue your E learning code to start your training. This training usually takes between 8-*10 hours and MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO YOUR  FIRST IN PERSON SESSION.

In this phase of training you will learn all about all aspects of scuba diving through E learning as well as in person class room sessions. once you have completed the e learning, we will schedule 4 hours of in  person classroom sessions. this can be done in 1 or 2 sessions.

In this phase of the training you will learn all of the under water skills necessary to safely scuba dive. We can start this training in the comfort of your own back yard pool or we can start the training in my back yard pool. We must transition to a bigger pool to complete the training. We use the Williams indoor pool in Webster TX to complete the confined water training.

this is the phase of the training where you will earn your certification. You demonstrate the skills you were taught in confined water as well as transition into a confident self reliant scuba diver who is committed to dive  in a buddy pair. Once this transition is complete, you will be certified as an Open Water Scuba Diver! This phase of the training will be completed in the training lake of your choice. We have three choices for locations in the Houston area for this training. The first is Lake Longhorn, Located off of League City Parkway in League City. The next is Mammoth Lake in Lake Jackson. The third option is The Blue Lagoon which is located North of Huntsville TX. We will discuss the best option based on your location as well as your comfort level during the training
