There are 3 components to any Open Water Scuba course. Academic, Confined Water (pool), and Open Water Dives.
Often, courses are advertised at a significantly reduced price but do not include necessary components (ex. Open Water Dives, training materials, equipment rental and certification fees).

We ask that all students purchase their own mask, fins and snorkels, as these are personal fitting items. This can be completed after the first class at any location you choose. Columbus Scuba offers significantly discounted student packages at our Columbus store. Your instructor will explain the benefits and features of the equipment you will need on the first day of class so there is no need to purchase equipment prior to class. This will help you make decisions about what you'll need and how much you should spend without going overboard.
