CLASS WAIVER

MEDICAL WAIVER*

Start your dive journey with Dive Georgia! 

You'll spend a Saturday and Sunday reviewing all of your diving knowledge from your provided elearning. In class, your instructors will provide you with hands on training. You'll be doing 5 dives in a local, state-of-the art competitive pool facility - learning and putting your skills to work. We will work along with you to ensure that you're comfortable with every skill and are ready for Open Water. 

During your weekend in the confined water you will complete the following skills:

• • Water Skills Assessment - 10 min float/tread
  • Demonstrate novice-level swim stroke proficiency in any of the following strokes: crawl, side, breast, elementary back, or back stroke. Classic stroke combinations are not necessary to meet this requirement as long as forward progress is achieved, e.g. no particular kick or arm action is necessarily required and a lack of either is also acceptable. Students shall complete at least 15 continuous stroke cycles while being evaluated by an instructor. A stroke cycle is considered to be either arm or leg action or a combination thereof, resulting in forward movement
  • Swim underwater 15m (50 ft.) on one breath with no push-off or dive. The use of weights is permitted for students having difficulty remaining submerged. The use of a mask is permitted for students wearing contact lenses
  • Skin Diving (confined or open water), minimally equipped with mask, fins, and snorkel
  • Swim 412m (450 yards) nonstop, breathing from a snorkel
  • Introduction of SCUBA skills
  • Post-dive care of scuba equipment
