How do the onboard scuba certification programs work?
Here’s a general overview of what to expect: • Advance sign-up is required. You’ll be forwarded course study materials and be tested on those materials soon after arrival onboard. • You’ll receive poolside instruction and at least one pool dive aboard your ship. • You’ll receive two open water dives at dive sites within your cruise itinerary. • Class size is quite small – usually 4-6 students per certified insructor. • The course is relatively intensive, requiring investment in cruise time for the instruction, written tests and the dives.
