SCUBA Camp is a one week program that includes classroom, pool sessions and open water dives

to master the skills necessary to earn an Open Water SCUBA Certification. The first three days

( Monday - Wednesday) consists of classroom and pool sessions and the last two days (Thursday & Friday)

you will use your newly acquired SCUBA skills on your open water check-out dives.

SCUBA Camp participants must be at least 10 years old.

After the completion of the course, participants will earn their Open Water SCUBA Certification.

Those under 15 will earn a Jr. Open Water SCUBA Certification which can be upgraded

once the diver reaches 15 years of age, for a small processing fee.

To register, contact Jim’s Dive Shop at 727-393-3483. An orientation session will be scheduled

with the student, parent or legal guardian and a member of Jim’s Dive Shop staff. At the orientation,

we will issue the student kit and complete the student folder and paperwork for the course. During the

orientation we will cover your personal gear, which the student must provide for the class

(mask, fins, snorkel, weights, weight belt and dive boots). SCUBA is an equipment intensive sport

and having proper, well fitting SCUBA gear is necessary in becoming a safe and competent diver.

At Jim’s Dive Shop, we understand the show room may not be the perfect place to try gear so

we will gladly exchange any purchases if the gear you have selected

does not fit properly once you have tried it in the pool.

The course fee includes: Student Kit (textbook, DVD, dive tables and logbook),

use of our tanks, regulators, buoyancy compensators, wetsuits and the open water dives.

Students must provide their own SCUBA quality personal gear:

mask, fins, snorkel, weights, weight belt, dive boots or dive socks.
