A pool session helps you decide if you want to "plunge" further into diving and take a certification course. Includes equipment. (Please note: you cannot dive on your own after this introduction and the money for this course is for my time and for scuba equipment rental and pool fees and cannot be applied towards a certification course.)

$150 per person

Upon completion of any of the above courses you will be required to supply two passport-size photos, one for your certification card and one for my file.

Payment Policy: A $150 deposit is due in advance of the first class to reserve my time. The balance is due in full at the end of the first class session. Please make your checks payable to Robin Burr.

Refund Policy: No refunds are available once class begins, however, if circumstances do not permit completion of the course within the scheduled time frame, arrangements can be made to make-up missed portions of the course. There will be an additional charge to cover extra classes and/or boat fees. Fees paid on behalf of one student are nontransferable to another student.

Please note: you only get certified once, so choose your course of instruction wisely.
