Open Water Scuba Diver
Open your door to adventure!
How it works
Our focus is a little different. We want to help you to become a scuba diver, not just learn to dive. Let’s face it, anyone can learn to mimic a set of actions to pass a test, but when you go on your first real adventure, will you be a safe and comfortable diver?
At Oceanic Ventures, we want you to feel as safe and comfortable on your first trip as you will on your tenth trip and to fall in love with diving just like we did! Our program is tailored to help you reach that goal of swimming with the fish and have fun doing it.

Let’s Start With Some Knowledge
We know you are a busy person so we have tailored the learning to fit busy schedules. But we don’t just hand you a book or tell you to go read an online text. Instead, we use a combination of an interactive online program and in-person or virtual training with our staff to help you learn the basics of Scuba Diving so you can become a knowledgeable, thinking diver. -
Skills to Help You Feel Like a Diver
It has often been said that you get what you pay for, and Scuba Diving is no exception. We don’t teach “fast, cheap scuba.” Rather, we help you gain comfort and skills in a non-threatening, non-rushed environment where you have time to internalize the knowledge and skills, and where you have the time to feel comfortable being underwater and actually enjoying the feeling of weightlessness that only an astronaut or a diver can experience. -
Experience the Thrill of Diving in a Local Lake or on a Trip
Let’s face it, you want to be underwater, not in front of your computer, and we want to take you there. Most of our divers start their journey at one of our local training lakes. But, to further our goal of helping you to become a safe and comfortable diver, we do more diving than we are required to do during these sessions which helps you develop your diving skills.. -
Equipment Made for Real Divers
If someone tells you that you only need a swimsuit and a towel, they are not really helping you to reach your goals. Scuba diving is an equipment-intensive sport just like golf or tennis. To become a diver, you want equipment that fits you and helps you become safer and more comfortable in the water. -
Additional Training to Help You Reach Your Goals
Remember that your Open Water Diver program is just the beginning our your journey into the underwater world. To help you keep moving along that path, we have added a Computer Diving Specialty and an Enriched Air Nitrox course to your Open Water Diver Program.

FAQ
When is this program taught?
Generally, our group classes start on the first Monday of every month and the third Tuesday of the month. We also have more tailored schedules to meet your schedules.
What is the program's schedule?
The academic portion of the program is delivered through digital educational materials, with two classroom sessions. The first classroom session is at the beginning of the program and is designed to get you started and to answer any questions that have popped up during the reading. The second class is scheduled for the end of the program and is designed to answer questions and make sure you are ready for the test. The pools are generally on the weekends and set up to help you feel comfortable in the water. Then there are two open water days during which you will make four to six dives.
Do I need some equipment?
Like Golf and Tennis, Scuba Diving is an equipment-intensive sport so you will need some equipment to get started.
