Open Water Scuba Classes

The first weekend is classroom and pool. You can check our calendar for exact weekends.  It is a take-home study so you need to get the kit in advance. There is an easy reading book to complete plus you need to watch a video tape.

The second weekend you will be diving in a local lake. The skills that you have mastered in the swimming pool will be repeated. There will be plenty of fun diving with our local freshwater fish.
We provide all of the equipment you will need for your classes except your boots. You can buy these in class. We encourage you not to buy equipment before taking lessons as this is an excellent time to try out different types of equipment. Be sure to know what fit your needs before purchasing.  
 
Husker Divers teaches  SSI Open Water certification through Instructor.  We also have an experienced underwater photographer on staff for the divers that want to learn how to take first class photos.
Between all of our Staff we have over 100 years of diving experience.
 
Medic First Aid/CPR/AED Class
August 11 & Aug 18 6 p.m.
We will now be offering this class on a regular basis. This is a great first aid/CPR class for not only the diver but also the non-diver. This certification will last for 2 years and is OSHA sanctioned. We are also offering private classes for businesses or organizations. Price of the class is $35 pp. The class will be at the dive store. You need to register in advance as we are limiting the size of the classes.  
 
Enriched Air Nitrox Class - Saturday, August 21 at 1 p.m.
 

Advance Navigation and the New Advanced Buoyancy Control Specialty:  

Aug 28 & 29

The new Distinctive Buoyancy Specialty Course is designed to challenge everyone to improve their diving by improving their buoyancy, breathing and weight distribution. If you are using a lot of air while diving or constantly adding and subtracting air from your BCD, this class will improve your diving. The price of the buoyancy class is $45.

We will be teaching Advanced Navigation the same weekend so it is an excellent opportunity to master two specialties and become a more comfortable diver. Price of the Navigation class is $95 or if you sign up for both of them for the same weekend you can take both for $120. Please sign up in advance and complete the homework for the Navigation. The Buoyancy class will complete everything at the lake. Classes will be held in Kearney.

All students waiting to complete Open Waters need to register for their weekend in advance at the store.

Stress & Rescue/Search & Recovery Class Sept 25 & 26

We feel these classes are some of the most important classes in making a comfortable diver. In the Stress/Rescue Course you will learn to identify stress and ways to control it in both you and your buddy. You will also learn to handle a diving accident if one should occur. In the Search & Recovery Class you will learn search patterns in case you lose something under the water. You will also be bringing up objects with lift bags.

You need to sign up in advance and complete the take home packet. Price of the classes: Stress & Rescue $165 and Search/Recovery $95. You need to provide or rent your own equipment for the weekend.  Stress/Rescue & Search/Recovery weekends at Bassway Stripe @ Minden exit

If you are going to take a scuba class, whether classroom or on-line, you will be asked to fill out a medical form. That form is below. If you answer yes to any of the questions it does not necessarily mean you cannot dive, it just means you need to have your doctor sign the physical form below before you will be allowed to participate in the pool or open waters. All of this is to help ensure your safety.
