Private lessons can be complete in as little as three days. Participants receive a Private Instructor for all academic, pool and ocean sessions. Beach diving is included. However, we recommend a boat charter, a two day adventure on Catalina Island or the ultimate, a Tropical adventure.

PRIVATE lessons use home study or On-line method:

Part one: ACADEMIC

• SDI Home study method (Before first academic session complete all prerequisite homework in Student kit) Once complete, call store for start time for first in store academic session. Average time for academic session 2 hours
• OR - Complete all portions of SDI on-line academics, print all quizes and exams. Once complete, call store for start time for first in store academic session. Average time for academic session 1 hour

Part Two: CONFINED POOL

• Bring all personal gear to first pool session (mask, snorkel, fins, boots, gloves, wetsuit, gear bag)
• Average time for pool sessions 2 hours each session. Pool sessions are designed to meet your watermanship level. Most students can be complete in one 2 hour session
• Group lessons include beach dives. Beach dives are scheduled by your Instructor on either Saturday or Sunday mornings from 7 am to 10 pm.

Part Three: OPEN WATER

• Bring complete ocean equipment; mask, snorkel, fins, boots, gloves, wetsuit, gear bag, tank, regulator with computer, hood, bcd and lead. All students must pick up rental ocean gear personally and check it for fit, function and worthiness before leaving store.

• Recommended: For participants that don't want to dive from the beach, your Instructor will schedule you on any venue listed below. Note: These venues fill up fast, so sign up early.
