COMPETENCY BASED EDUCATION; EXCELLENCE THROUGH KNOWLEDGE
The safe and effective progression of all divers is extremely important to us. Our philosophy is the proper implementation of competency-based training and skill through that training. Unfortunately, there are instructors that will pass you no matter if you are truly prepared and ready for the kind of dives the certification rates you for. Here we do not focus so much on pass or fail. Our approach is, are you ready to conduct this diving on your own or do you need more refining of your skills? For us, the certification cards are earned because of the demonstrated skills, knowledge, and experience that are tested in the course, and the competency gained. Also, skipping core courses is simply a disservice to you.
Many instructors feel that foundational training, such as Intro to Technical Diving or Foundations, is not necessary. They would rather someone to spend more money and go directly into a Combined Advanced Nitrox and Deco Procedures course in order to obtain higher certification numbers. Why would this be true and how is this the reality? Because at the professional level, Intro to Tech doesn’t grow your professional technical career; only higher levels do.
Our students’ development into competent divers is critical and we demand that in our approach. We focus on competency-based training to ensure the skills you acquire build the proper confidence with respect to all physical and mental aspects of diving. Prior to starting any advanced-level training, we require a skills evaluation to determine your current core competency and experience; collecting cards doesn’t count.
For us, we will not accept a student that does not take the foundational courses of our technical programs. This includes the Intro to Tech or SDI/TDI Foundations PRIOR to taking Advanced Nitrox (130fsw) and Decompression Procedures (150fsw). Students who are crossing over from a DIR agency will be evaluated on a case-by-case situation.
Our schedule fills up quickly, so we require a 50% non-refundable deposit to hold your space for a course. If you need to cancel, we will issue 25% course credit to be used at a later date within 12 months of the scheduled class. For example, If you paid a $500 deposit and then cancelled, you would get a credit of $250 to apply to a class at a later date.
All courses require a COMPLETE MEDICAL form to be filled out PRIOR to the first day of class. We reserve the right to postpone or cancel training if our staff deems there may be a safety risk to you, or us. Please contact us directly to discuss, if necessary. You must complete the Student Learning Agreement and agree to all terms of understanding. We will be happy to go over any questions you have.
