Open Water Scuba Course

Ready to explore what lies beneath the surface? Aquatic Adventures Ohio offers SDI Open Water Diver Certification, perfect for families looking to start a scuba adventure together. This hands-on course combines online learning modules (completed at your own pace) with intensive in-person training squeezed into a single weekend—great for busy schedules. You'll spend 10-12 hours getting instruction at a private pool facility, then complete four certification dives in Ohio waters with experienced instructors. Small class sizes mean your family gets personalized attention and plenty of one-on-one coaching throughout. The package includes all major gear rentals (regulators, tanks, wetsuits, and more), plus a bonus Nitrox certification to extend your dive time safely. Students bring only masks, fins, boots, and snorkels—and receive a 10% discount on those items at the shop. Once certified, you'll gain access to the dive center's community of regular divers, with monthly social events, skill workshops, and trips to keep the adventure going. Whether this becomes a weekend hobby or the start of serious exploration, the team provides ongoing support for whatever diving goals your family pursues next.
