What we offer

Upon request or dependent on class size, we now offer online courses as an alternative to in-classroom learning. These lessons can be completed at home on your own personal timeline. Private instruction is available for four (4) or more students and can be customized to your schedule. We use the Washington Township REC Center facilities for pool training. 
Fee: $250 per person
Discount offered for three (3) or more students signing up as a group.

Following the completion of the class education, an open water certification dive will be scheduled for an additional cost of $350 per person.

All equipment and teaching materials are included in your fee for both the pool and open water training. However, you must provide your own mask, fins and snorkel for the open water dives.

Education: Out of the Blue Divers has taught classes a the Washington Township Recreation Center, The University of Dayton, Centerville High School and Bellbrook High School.
