- Buoyancy
- Trim
- Correct weighting
- Mask skills
- BCD skills

Open Water Training Dives. Here is where you the student shows the Instructor that you are a capable diver. we will work on some of the following sections:

Upon successful completion of all 3 phases, you will earn the SSI Open Water Diver certification.
