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.

You will need to buy your own mask, snorkel, boots and fins before the pool session. If you purchase these items from Husker Divers you will receive a discount for taking class with us. These items should be custom fitted to you and your needs.

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.

NAVIGATION/ADVANCED BUOYANCY SPECIALTY CLASSES-Feb 25

If you take both specialties in the same weekend you get a special price of $140 for both.

Navigation --Have you ever asked yourself, "How does my instructor manage to find the way back to the exit point or to the boat?" If so, the NAVIGATION Program is what you need to learn this skill for yourself.

The NAVIGATION Program will teach you to navigate with a compass and how to apply natural navigation skills. You will also learn to estimate distances, navigate different search patterns, find your way to different marking points, and be able to get back to the exit point at any time. You need to own or rent your own equipment.

Advanced Buoyancy Specialty

If you are not totally comfortable in the water, this is the class for you. You will practice and fine tune your buoyancy. You will find that you are a more comfortable diver and will probably use less air.

Even though it is called Advanced Buoyancy, it is designed for everyone from the NEW diver to the experienced diver. You will learn how to properly weight yourself and practice maneuvering through a buoyancy course. When you complete this class you will be a more relaxed and comfortable diver.

Classroom Portion is Feb 25 from 12-4 p.m. Open Water portion in the spring/summer. Please sign up in advance and complete the take home portion.

If you take both specialties in the same weekend you get a special price of $240 for both.

Stress & Rescue

Learn to identify stress in yourself and others and how to deal with it safely.
Stress is a major contributor to rescue situations and diving accidents. Through this course you will learn accident prevention, as well as how to handle problem situations if they occur. We will concentrate on stress in the diver and how to avoid that panic feeling.

The program is about avoiding, recognizing and solving problems on the surface and under water. The course is one day in classroom and two days in open waters. As a prerequisite for certification you need to have a valid CPR & First Aid certificate. You need to own or rent your own equipment.

Search and Recovery Class --"Finding treasure is something every diver thinks of more than once in his/her diving career."

Whether it’s the gold of a sunken ship, a lost ring or simply your buddy’s dive light that was accidentally lost, there are times in which the appropriate training to search for lost objects underwater would be beneficial.

SSI offers a structured program for SEARCH AND RECOVERY where you will learn to perform different search patterns with the help of ropes and compasses, and to plan search and recovery operations in a team. You will also learn the correct handling of one or more lifting bags in order to bring heavy objects securely to the surface.

Classroom Portion is March 17 from 12-4 p.m. Open Water portion in the spring/summer. Please sign up in advance and complete the take home portion.

Husker Divers now offers the option of doing your classroom online. Just follow the link to start for free. Please contact the store for any additional information.

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.
