Any gear you purchase for your class that does not meet your needs or fit properly, will be exchanged for you, prior to your open water dives.

How It Works

After you pay for the course, your elearning will be sent out from PADI. Padi recommends allowing for 8 hours, but we frequently see students complete the course in as little as 4 hours. Your completed paperwork will be provided to your instructor, and you will take a final exam with your instructor, the second day, after the open water dives.

You will receive an email from your instructor about a week prior to your course with paperwork to fill out (or fill it out through the elearning links), times and locations of the pool dives, and other important information.

Orientation: Due to Covid 19, we have moved to 1 on 1 orientation at FishEye Scuba.  A week or less, prior to your pool dive dates, set an appointment with us at FishEye Scub, so we can meet, complete paperwork, answer questions which may vary by course and instructor, pick up rental gear, personal gear and crewpack.

Pool Dates are typically on Saturday and Sunday, varying in morning hours, approximately 9am to noon.  We occasionally schedule weekday courses as well. The second day of open water dives will continue into the afternoon at FishEye Scuba, with Final Exams, and hands on classroom instruction, as needed, with your instructor.

Open Water Dates are determined by weather, class, time of year, local events, etc.  Dives usually start about 9am, and run into the early afternoon, with a debriefing and log book signing.

Covid -19 related Issues:

We use social distancing as much as possible in our courses, and all our gear is disinfected after each use.  Covid has been shown to be inactive in chlorinated water. Class sizes have been reduced to 4-5 students, and orientation is now 1 on 1, instead of in a group setting.
