We typically offer classes at our facility, but for those with tight schedules we also offer online training at no additional cost. You can also take the online training to simply compliment actually coming to class. Of course, the online training can not replace pool time or open-water time with your instructor.  Once completed, the online training can be applied to your profile with SSI and assigned to Wateree Dive Center as your training facility for the rest of your instruction.
