Product
How you display your products or inventory is important, so important that it might be the difference between making a sale and losing a lot of customers right off the bat. Your site visitors will always be drawn to an image before they read the text on the page, which means you need to be sure that your presenting quality professional grade photos to your potential customers. Hourly, half-day, and full-day rates available.
Why Scuba?
Basically the closest thing to flying you’ll get, scuba diving allows you to be immersed in the marine world without having the need to come up for a breath of air. Hardly having to deal with gravity makes you feel like you’re weightless and flying into the blue. Explore coral reefs, shipwrecks, and underwater structures all around the world.
Open Water Certification
The first certification anyone can get when starting out is your Open Water Diver certification. An open water diver is trained by a qualified instructor on how to safely and properly go down to a maximum depth of 60 ft (18 m) deep.
An open water certification course consists of:
- Online coursework (6-8) hours depending on competency
- 4-6 hours of classroom work
- 2 confined water (pool) sessions
- 4 open water dives
- 1 Final exam
Requirements:
- Must be in good health standing
- If you do have any health ailments, a doctors’ written approval for you to go diving is required.
- Have a passion for learning about diving and the underwater world.
Other Certifications I teach
- Try Scuba (half of the Open Water Diver course)
- Certifies you up to 30 ft with a qualified dive professional.
- Nitrox (highly recommended) often paired with Open Water Diver course.
- Fish Identification
- Wreck Diver
- Navigation
