About this experience
This scuba certification course from Ocean Therapy Charters takes beginners through the full SSI Open Water Diver program, starting at Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor in Honolulu. After booking, the operator reaches out to arrange a schedule that fits.
Training begins with an orientation and a confined water session where students practice buoyancy control, mask clearing, regulator recovery, and basic safety skills in a calm setting. The next session moves to shore dives in open ocean, and a later weekend brings boat dives to finish the required open water training. Digital learning materials through SSI's eLearning platform and DAN student insurance coverage are also included.
Transportation and parking are not included. Missed sessions can be made up for an additional fee. The eLearning fee is non-refundable once assigned.
