During the open water weeknight course, you'll be working with your instructor to complete all the classroom and pool training. At the end of the course you will be issued a referral form that can be used to complete your open water training dives.

With this referral form you can either complete your open water training dives with the Boston Harbor Diving Co. (during local diving season), or complete your dives while on vacation.

The academic session & pool sessions will be held at the Dorchester House in Dorchester, MA. This facility is a quick ride from downtown Boston if you are driving, and is "T" accessible.

We offer PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) classes, the largest diver training organization in the world. Our diving instructors have hundreds of logged dives, and years of teaching experience. Your safety and proficiency as a diver will be our number one goal.

Rates below reflect total cost of the course. All the SCUBA & snorkeling gear needed for the course are included. No gear purchases are necessary. No gear rental fees. No hidden costs!!!

Another benefit of our course is that we supply our students with a wetsuit for pool training. Although the pools we use are heated, a wetsuit provides an additional level of comfort in the pool. You won't be cold with us!!
