ACUC offers you two different Entry Level Scuba certification courses. You have the choice of starting with:

 

· The Scuba Diver, or

· The Open Water Diver

 

 

THE SCUBA DIVER COURSE

 

This optional course is designed for those that wish to dive to relatively shallow depths and always under direct supervision of an ACUC Divemaster or higher level, or similar level from other ACUC recognized organisations.

 

It is recommended for young people (minimum age is 12 years old) or for elder persons (no maximum age).

 

It has some limitations, such as for example, the maximum depth, which is 15 meters (50 feet) and as we mentioned before, the “ACUC Scuba Divers” must always be accompanied by an ACUC Divemaster or similar when they dive. Also there are some dive sites that place limitations to this type of certification.

 

You can see the ACUC standards, course contents and requirements for this course in this PDF document

 

 

THE OPEN WATER DIVER COURSE

 

This course is designed for those that wish to obtain the knowledge to safely dive without supervision and up to the maximum depth allowed for recreational divers (see note regarding depth in the standards document below). The minimum age is 12 years old and there is no maximum age.

 

Being certified as an “ACUC Open Water Diver” also allows you to take more advanced and specialty courses and it does not have the limitations of the “ACUC Scuba Diver” certification.

 

You can see the ACUC standards, course contents and requirements for this course in this PDF document

 

 

ACUC also offers “Introduction to Diving”, non-certification courses, so that you can see if you like Scuba Diving before taking a full certification course.

ACUC also offers other specialty courses for non divers. Among these courses are:

 

· First Aid Provider

· DAN or USP Emergency Oxygen Provider

· Surface Controller

· Equipment Maintenance
