Q. What do I need for the first class?
A. For most classes, we will ask that you view the PADI videos (DVDs), read the PADI textbook and complete the knowledge reviews at the end of each module. Both the books and the video are included in the course fee and the book is yours to keep. You will also need to complete a PADI student record file (including a medical statement). Discover Scuba is the exception-there are no study materials.
Q. Are private lessons available?
A. Yes! We arrange a great deal of private lessons for individuals and groups-just call and make arrangements-we can work around your schedule.
Q. Is there an age limit?
A. For Discover Scuba, you need only be 12 years old. Otherwise, to qualify for Open Water, Advanced Open Water & Rescue Diver you need to be 15 years old. Those 10-14 may take the courses and receive Junior certifications. Those with a Junior certification at 10-11 yrs old must dive with a parent, guardian or PADI professional. Older Juniors 12 and older must dive with a certified adult. To qualify for the Divemaster course, you must be 18 years old.
Q. What equipment will I need?
A. None. Northland Equipment and Diving can provide all the equipment that you need-in fact, the rental gear and air fills are included in the cost of the class. You may wish to purchase gear that fits you uniquely, but it's not required.
