General Class Information

Open Water Certification

We regularly offer Open Water Certification courses for people who are interested in learning to become SCUBA divers. We meet three Sundays during a 6 week period. The course consist of a DVD and online course materials you need to study at home; some classroom work each of the 3 times we are together; 3 nights of work in a pool and then culminate with a weekend where you do your Open Water Certification. This means putting all the skills you’ve learned in the classroom and pool into practice in a real situation - generally Hoodsport or Tacoma, Washington.

The cost is the class is $335 for nonmembers ($300 for RRF members). Costs for the class cover classroom materials, equipment for pool sessions and for the open water certification. We ask students to purchase their own dive boots, fins, mask & snorkel. Additional costs for your food & lodging during your Open Water Certification are up to you, although we often use a place called “The Yellow House” which is a shared, hostel style location which gives us an inexpensive solution to both.

Other Classes - Information

We occasionally have other classes such as Navigation; Night/Limited Visibility; Nitrox or Stress and Rescue. Other classes can be provided if we have enough interested. Just drop us a note and let us know what you are interested in taking.
