Frequently
Asked Questions |
|
|
|
| Q: How much are SCUBA lessons? | |
| A: At Diversions Scuba, Open Water SCUBA lessons are only $275.00 per person. That price includes your books, use of the gear during your training, and your certification card. All you will need to purchase are your own mask, fins and snorkel. A Diversions staff member will help outfit you with the best selection for your diving needs. | |
| Q: How long does it take to get certified? | |
| A: Not long at all. Classes at Diversions Scuba are modular. You can complete the classroom sessions in one weekend or via self-study at home using CD-ROM. After the classroom sessions are completed, all you need to do is complete two pool sessions over the same weekend and two open water sessions the following weekend. | |
| Q: Where can we dive around Madison? | |
| A: Surprisingly enough, there are a number of places to dive around Madison. Lake Mendota and Lake Monona provide beautiful visibility in the spring and fall (and in the winter if you have the training and can take the cold temperatures). In mid-summer, most of our diving is in Devil's Lake in Baraboo or Kiwanis Pond in Janesville. These diving spots provide plenty of fish including Walleye, Northern Pike, Muskie, Perch, Bass, Crappies, and, if you are lucky you may even spot a Sturgeon! Or for your adventurous side, there is always Great Lake wreck diving! We have trips to may popular wrecks that we schedule regularly. | |
| Q: SCUBA diving is a buddy sport. What if I cannot find a buddy to dive with? | |
| A: Not a problem. Every Thursday night of the year, divers of all abilities and certification levels meet at Diversions Scuba for weekly Adventure Dives. Everyone is welcome and everyone always has someone to dive with. | |
| Q: Do I have to buy all of my SCUBA gear? | |
| A: Not at all. Most new divers start out by purchasing their own mask, boots, fins, and snorkel. You can gradually pick up more gear as you get more involved in the sport (and you will!). In the mean time, Diversions Scuba offers affordable rental rates and special rates for our weekly Adventure Dives. | |
