The
adventure begins! Imagine watching the water level move up your mask
as you slowly go below the surface - and continue to breathe! It's
the most exciting feeling imaginable. The NAUI Scuba Diver course
will teach you everything you need to know to independently and
competently scuba dive with a buddy - on your own to explore and
discover.
OVERVIEW
Scuba
Diver is the NAUI entry level scuba certification course. It
provides the fundamental knowledge and skills to scuba dive. Upon
successful completion of this course, graduates are considered
competent to engage in open water diving activities without
supervision, provided the diving activities and the areas dived
approximate those of training.
