Courses and Pricing
I offer several levels of scuba certifications at a minimum of cost. All prices include instructor fees, books, dive tables, and rental gear. The only gear I recommend you supply is mask, fins, and snorkel. These can be purchased at several internet retailers or local dive shop. I do have a couple pairs of mask, fins, and snorkel for your use if need be.

FACILITIES
POOL
All pool sessions will be done in a local in ground pool. This pool is 18'x36' and runs from 3 feet in the shallow end to 10 feet in the deep end. I limit my classes to four students at a time to ensure there is enough room for each student to freely move about and also give the best instructor supervision.
This is my parents pool we will be using minus my little brother and his friend! (click pic to supersize)
CLASSROOM
Classroom knowledge development sessions can be done at several locations. I am very flexible and can travel to many locations to perform these.
OPEN WATER
Again, several sites for open water portions of your course. These include Falling Rock Park Quarry in LaGrange KY, Laurel Lake, Herrington Lake,
Lake Cumberland, Pennyroyal Quarry...etc.
I am also open to travel to complete a course. Many students opt to travel to Florida to complete their course in freshwater springs found all over the state(additional fees apply).
