Get Smart
Start your SDI Open Water Scuba Diver course and master all the important academic information online or at your local dive shop. You can complete this phase through self-study, at your own pace, in the convenience of your home or office. All online learning courses work on mobile and tablet devices too.
Get Wet
For entry-level certification courses (as well as some continuing-education classes), the next step will be to complete your in-water skill-development training. This takes place in a swimming pool or similar body of confined water, under the supervision of an SDI Instructor.
Go Diving
The final step is to complete the required number of SDI open-water training dives under the supervision of your SDI Instructor. Here you will apply what you have learned during your academic and skill-development sessions, while learning practical lessons that can only be gained through real-world experience in open water.
That’s right! We have the deepest pool in all of DFW and it’s perfect for your first experience of breathing underwater. It’s even heated so you’re able to train year-round!
After you’ve completed your online studies and your pool sessions, you’ll be ready to head to the Scuba Ranch in Terrell, Texas. We have our own dedicated pavilion, dock and underwater platform perfect for skills. During your dives you’ll find a “shark,” sunken planes and sunken boats.
Once you’re certified, you’re always welcome back to the Scuba Ranch for fun dives! We have courses and people diving every weekend!
In recreational diving, Nitrox is referred to as any gas where the mixture of oxygen is greater than 21% thereby reducing the nitrogen content to less than 79%.
You’ll learn in your Open Water course that decompression sickness is caused by nitrogen bubbles forming in your body tissues. Breathing a lower percentage of nitrogen (or a higher percentage of oxygen) allows less nitrogen to build up in your body and therefore increasing your decompression limits and decreasing the risk of decompression sickness.
