Becoming a Complete Diver

Getting certified as NAUI Scuba Diver is just the beginning of a life-changing adventure.
You took the course because you were intrigued by the underwater world. Becoming a diver would be a challenge, but you gladly accepted. You shopped around for the right training agency that offered a solid international reputation, a strong local presence in your area, and the best value for your hard-earned budget. The class wasn’t easy, but your instructor was kind and enthusiastic, and customized the training to build upon your strengths, while addressing your concerns with care and attention, so you could get the most benefit out of your time in the classroom and in the water. You learned way more than you expected about the physics of diving, the underwater environment and the standards regarding dive safety. On your first open water check-out dive, everything came together. And you knew you’d never be the same again.
