We will be conducting a workshop focusing on everything you need to know about shooting, editing, and sharing your vacation videos. This workshop will take place at Saguaro Scuba on June 26, 2021 starting at 11:00am. Briton Tarter will be on hand discussing everything you’ll need to know to create exciting and interesting vacation videos and answering any questions. This workshop is a great opportunity to learn some tips and tricks and can lead into our full specialty certification in Photography and Videography which will take place in the next few weeks for those who may be interested.

If you are interested in attending the workshop please register below as soon as possible. Registration is only available to certified divers and is limited to the first 15 divers who register. Please email [email protected] to reserve your spot!

Thanks for diving with Saguaro!

The pool segment of your Open Water training is scheduled as a one day event. Students and Instructors will meet at Saguaro Diving, generally at 8am, and start the day with SCUBA gear assignment and set-up. The student is responsible for having their personal gear; mask, fins, dive boots and snorkel; prior to this day of training. From the shop we will head out to a designated Mesa Parks & Rec pool for a day of training and fun. Before donning SCUBA gear there is a swim evaluation; 200 yards, any stroke, and a 10 minute float/tread; as required by the certifying agency, PADI/SDI. It is during your water time that the required skills are accomplished to make you a safe diver. Later, during your Open Water certification dives, you will be evaluated on some of the skills that you learned in the pool. Because PADI/SDI training is standardized the student will accomplish the same skills/be evaluated on specific skills no matter where the training is conducted. Although you will not need your educational materials for this session, please pack a picnic style lunch, beverages, a bathing suit & towel, and sunscreen, along with your personal gear. Let’s get wet and make some bubbles!

The academics portion is offered on-line through the certifying agency. You can progress at your own pace, on your own schedule. This includes quizzes and final exam. Saguaro Diving will be notified when you register and again upon your completion of the on-line study.
