There is no extra charge to complete your checkout on a SELA SCUBA trip. After you register, we'll email you with a link to start your NAUI e-learning. You'll complete this part from home before you get to class. (Note: We will send you an activation email. Please do not create an account on your own on NAUI's website, as this creates a duplicate account.) At your class, we'll review academics and learn SCUBA skills in the pool. We'll provide your tank, weights, regulator, buoyancy compensator, and wetsuit for the pool. SCUBA masks/fins/snorkel are available to purchase from us, but you can use ours during class if needed. To complete your certification, you'll go on a checkout dive and complete a minimum of 4 open water dives. You can either attend one of our group trips or receive a referral form to take on your own trip. The NAUI Open Water certification does not expire, but we recommend a refresher session if you go 12 months or more between dives. Email us with any questions! Robyn@selaaquatics.com
