Let us give you a quick overview of how this all works. To begin, you will have one dry training (classroom) session. That usually takes anywhere from two to four hours. Then we get wet!! 
There will be one or two pool sessions depending on how you would like to do it. Those also typically run two to four hours. When we get to the pool we are very fortunate to have the use of some of the finest aquatic facilities in the city. Miller Swim School at 63rd and Mingo as well as the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club of Broken Arrow on 91st just west of 161st. Our final training takes place in open water (we typically use Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma or Beaver lake in western Arkansas.) There are other options for open water sites and we are more than willing to work with you if you have a special request. PADI requires two lake sessions over two separate days.
At OkieScuba.com LLC we think we are the best source for your underwater adventure and education, so let us tell you why.
We believe that there are four very important parts to your underwater training. They are:
- Safety. Your safety and that of your friends and family come first with us. Everything from the maintenance on the equipment you use to the choice of the dive sites we visit is taken into consideration. From your first classroom experience to your final certification dive, we make sure you are safe and comfortable.
- Fun. If it’s not fun, don’t do it. That is our philosophy on diving and we extend that to your training. Yes this is serious business but we promise to make you smile along the way as well.
- Convenience. In this busy world we live in, very few of us have the time to “fit into” someone else’s schedule. So, we don’t do that, we fit into yours! OkieScuba LLC can arrange to do your class just about any time you want it. Need a class on a weekday at noon, we’ll do it. Have to have a weeknight session, that’s fine with us. Need something on the weekend, we’re there. And we do it all AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. We just think it’s the right thing to do.
- Adventure. Now there is a word that has a different meaning to just about everyone. The beauty of diving is that your level of adventure is up to you. You can be as calm as hand feeding the small colorful fish in the Caribbean. Or you can get the thrill that comes when you hover weightless as a 50-foot whale shark glides by. There are few feelings in the world that compare with watching an octopus scurry across a reef or seeing a manta ray turn perfect circles in the water in front of you. When it comes to diving you really can “have it your way.”
