Recreational Diver Level 1 – Learn to Dive
Recreational Diver Level 1 (Rec 1) can be taught privately. Wet Rocks Instructors may cap a class at 3 students, even though a 4:1 ratio is permitted. Most Wet Rocks Diving taught Rec 1 classes are capped at 2 students. Course length depends on area logistics, primarily water temp and travel time to dive sites/fill station. Course is at minimum 5 days long, but most commonly taught in 6 full days or equivalent, plus pre-course study. This course includes classroom academics, nitrox instruction, field drills, confined water, and open water training. Whenever possible, our open water training includes shore dives, boat dives, drift dives, and wreck dives for additional learning opportunities.
Rec 1 can also be offered in two parts: Recreational Supervised Diver which requires you to dive with a dive leader or instructor and Rec 1 Upgrade once a diver is ready to move up to full certification. If you are interested in take the class in this two-part format: please inquire for a tuition breakdown per part.
