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.

Adaptive Scuba Training

We are now offering adaptive scuba training. It is designed to educate individuals with disabilities to become certified scuba divers. We are able to adapt our open water program to meet their unique needs. Husker Divers now has a certified instructor, Joe Tyler, to teach this program and most of our staff will become certified assistants. Please contact Joe at 402-420-6338 for further information.

Stress & Rescue/Search & Recovery May 17 & 18

You will have the opportunity to get two great specialties in one weekend.

Search & Recovery - learn how to run effective search patterns underwater for missing items. You will be looking for a small object and then finding a boat motor and bringing it to the surface with lift bags. Price of the class is $95.

Stress & Rescue - this class will help make you not only a complete diver but also a safer diver. You will learn to identify stress in yourself and your buddy. You will then learn techniques in dealing with stress underwater so a problem does not arise. You will also learn to help your buddy in the event of a diving accident. Comments that we have heard from graduates of this class is they are a lot more comfortable diver and feel ready to assist others. Price of class is $165.

You need to own or rent your equipment for these classes. You must sign up in advance at the dive store.

Navigation Class

If you have ever lost your sense of direction under water you know how important this class is. You will learn to read a compass and find your way back to the boat. Price of the class is $95. Contact the store for schedule.
