Sport Divers of Houston Inc.

Offering certification for everyone from Open Water Divers to Instructors
If you haven't been in the water for a while, call us to schedule a refresher class. Or if you just want to try before committing to a class, we can arrange for a Discover SCUBA, which allows you to try scuba in the pool under close supervision of an instructor.

Open Water Diver
Take a scuba lesson in our Open Water Diver Course and get certified! If you’ve always wanted to learn how to dive, discover new adventures, or simply see the wondrous world beneath the waves, this is where you start!

The 3 phases of the Open Water Diver course:

  • Knowledge development (online, home study, or in a classroom ) to understand basic principles of scuba diving
  • Confined water dives to learn basic scuba skills
  • Open water dives to review your skills and explore

**If you’ve tried diving through a Discover SCUBA experience or resort course, the skills you learned may be credited towards a portion of the full PADI Open Water Diver course certification**

Prerequisites:

To enroll in the Open Diver course or Junior Open Water Diver course, you must be 10 years or older (PADI eLearning requires an extra registration step for students under 13 years due to international internet laws).

And here comes the fun part…
Learning to dive is incredible. You’ll make at least 5 pool dives and 4 dives at local dive sites under the supervision of your PADI Instructor, breathe underwater for the first time (something you’ll never forget), and learn to become a certified diver.

Advanced Open Water Diver
This course is all about exploration, excitement, and experiences. And no, you don’t have to be “advanced” to take it. Designed so you can go straight into it after the Open Water Diver course, now you’ll increase your confidence and build your scuba skills, so you can become more comfortable in the water, get more dives under your belt, and continue to learn under the supervision of your PADI Instructor.

With 5 adventure dives, we’ll focus on your:

  • Underwater navigation
  • Deeper water diving (typically anywhere from 18-30 metres/ 60-100 feet)
  • A sampler of 3 more Adventure Dives of your choice

And here comes the fun part…
You choose! You’ll love the Advanced Open Water Diver course because you and your instructor have 15 types of Adventure Dives to choose from. You can try your hand at digital underwater photography, wreck diving, diving with underwater scooters, peak performance buoyancy and much more.

**Get credit! Each adventure dive in the Advanced Open Water Diver course may credit toward the first dive of the corresponding Specialty Diver course**

Rescue Diver
“Challenging” and “rewarding” best describe the Rescue Diver course. Building upon what you’ve already learned, this course expands on what you already know about how to prevent problems and how to manage them when they occur.

You’ll swim about knowing the ins-and-outs:

  • Self rescue
  • Recognizing and managing stress in other divers
  • Emergency management and equipment
  • Rescuing panicked divers
  • Rescuing unresponsive divers

And here comes the fun part…
Not only will you rise to meet your challenges, you’ll master them. Most divers find this course both demanding and rewarding, and at the end, say it’s the best course they’ve ever taken.

Divemaster
Looking for the first step to making scuba your career? Your adventure into the professional levels of recreational scuba diving begins here.

Learning in the PADI Divemaster program:

  • Develop dive leadership skills through classroom and independent study
  • Complete water skills and stamina exercises
  • Stretch your ability to organize, solve problems, and improve others’ diving
  • Take action through an internship or series of practical training exercises

**Serves as the prerequisite certification for both the Assistant Instructor and Open Water Scuba Instructor certifications**

Enriched Air Diver
It’s easy to see why the Enriched Air Diver course is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba diving course. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression dive time, which means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives.

Breaking it down to the basics:

  • Techniques for getting more dive time by using enriched air nitrox
  • Enriched air scuba diving equipment considerations
  • Enriched air considerations, including managing oxygen exposure, how to tell what’s in your scuba tank, and how to set your dive computer

And here comes the fun part…
You can typically stay down longer and get back the water sooner. No wonder many divers choose this as their very first specialty course.

Digital Underwater Photographer
One of the most popular diving specialties, the rise of digital underwater photography has made it easier and more fun than ever. The Digital Underwater Photographer course gets you going quickly with modern digital equipment, whether you use a point-and-shoot snap camera or a sophisticated D-SLR like the pros. While our Underwater Photographer course is a more traditional photography course designed for conventional film equipment.

Develop your artistic eye

  • Learn how to choose the right underwater camera system for you
  • The PADI SEA method for getting great shots quickly
  • 3 primary principles for good underwater photos

And here comes the fun part…
It's a great way to relive the adventures you’ve had and capture images to share with your friends and family!

Emergency First Response (EFR)
In addition to PADI and TDI certifications, anyone can benefit from our EFR classes, which include basic first aid, CPR, and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training. Our EFR program meets requirements for CPR and First Aid in the workplace (OSHA Guideline 29 CFR 1910.151), which means it’s not limited to divers. We also offer EFR Care for Children and EFR Instruction training.
