You will then receive your student kit (includes a brand new mouth piece) and we will schedule you for a 2-hour orientation for your upcoming class.
Step 2: Self pace independent home study and completion of homework (approx. 4-6 hours)
Step 3: SCUBA Training
Academic review in the classroom and in-water skill development training with highly qualified instructors at Denver Divers' indoor heated pool, designed specifically for scuba training. You will be responsible for providing your own personal equipment (mask, fins, and snorkel).
