Course Dates:
Spring 2021: Due to Covid-19 restrictions, our Spring Confined Water portion of our PADI Open water Diver course was cancelled. However, we are still aiming to complete our Open Water Weekend in the spring for the divers who completed their confined water dives in Fall 2020.
(Dates and times for SUCI's Spring Open Water course for Spring 2022 are to be determined but will most likely be the 2nd or 3rd weekend in June)
