We usually meet at 9am and work till noon – take a lunch break – then complete pool skills at about three or Four o’clock.)
• Beach Dives – Dedicate 3-4 Hours total time. Two Beach Dives may be done in One Morning usually from 7 am till 11 am. Orange County residents will dive from Laguna Beach, LA County residents will dive from Redondo Beach.  Beach Dives One & Two are typically on Saturday the day before the Final Two Beach Dives on Sunday.  This makes picking up your Rental Gear (Included with Class) easier – you only have to do it once.
• Boat Dives – Should you Choose, you will need to Dedicate a Full Day. Our Boat Trips are scheduled a Year in Advance and can be Viewed Here. Look up any “Shop Boat Dive” and use those dates in planning your Schedule.  (Boat Fee is a Flat Rate of $200 per person extra for all Private Classes)
