If you have already completed your Confined Water (classroom & pool) training, and are now ready to compete your Open Water certification dives, the time has come. Through Saturday, September 20 and Sunday, September 21, you will complete four dives under an instructor’s supervision. During those dives, the instructor will have you demonstrate the skills you learned in the pool. If you can successfully complete the skills and show that you are comfortable and capable in the water, you will receive your PADI Open Water certification.
Here are the details:
Dates: Saturday September 20 & Sunday September 21 (you must attend both days)
Times: start at 9:00am each day, ending early afternoon.
Location: Falling Rock Park, LaGrange, KY (click for their website).
Click here for a map & brochure about Falling Rock Park.
Cost: $200 (includes use of scuba kit, tank fills & certification card). You supply your own mask, fins & snorkel.
Additional costs: $40 entry fee (CASH ONLY) paid to dive site (covers both days), transportation, snacks.
Other things to know: You should come to New Horizons before 5:00pm on Friday the 8th to pick up your scuba gear for the weekend. Students are responsible for bringing their own gear each day and must return the equipment to New Horizons by 5:00pm on Monday the 22nd. It takes an hour and a half minimum to get from Lexington to Falling Rock Park in LaGrange, so give yourself plenty of drive time each morning. Falling Rock Park does not have much in the way of facilities other than some port-o-johns, so bring your own snacks and drinks. Also bring a towel or two, a change of clothes, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a beach chair if you want, etc. Once you finish your last training dive on Sunday, you will be able to continue diving with a buddy as a newly certified diver!
