Scuba Program

In an effort to provide new and exciting educational and recreational experiences, Massanutten Military Academy will be offering Scuba classes taught by professional instructors from Kathy's Scuba, Inc. Scuba diving is a non-competitive recreational activity that can be enjoyed throughout one's lifetime, and opens doors to fields of study such as marine biology, underwater archeology and research.

Students must be in good health and at least 15 years of age and have parental consent to enroll in the course. The class is a PADI* Open Water Scuba course. This course will prepare the student for certification as an open water diver. The class is divided into 3 parts:
Classroom - where you learn about equipment, technique, and proper procedures for safe diving.

Pool - using the equipment you practice the techniques and skills discussed in the classroom. Here you will gain confidence in your ability to safely use the equipment.

Open Water Dives - the student will participate in 4 open water dives with a professional instructor at a local dive site or the dives can be completed with another PADI instructor on a referral basis in some tropical location. The same skills that are learned in the pool are practiced in open water for certification.

Upon completion of the open water dives the students (15 - 18 years of age) will be awarded a PADI Open Water certification card. This is a non-expiring card.

 Cost for the classroom and pool portion of the course is $250. This includes the textbook, logbook, dive tables, pool fees, instructor fees, and rental fees for the scuba equipment.

Personal snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel, boots, & fins) is not included but an equipment package is available to the students from Kathy's Scuba. (Description on attached page)

Cost for the certification dives is $150 (all 4 dives when done locally).
