The PADI Open Water Diver scuba curriculum has three parts. Each part has to be completed in order. First is the Knowledge Development (classroom) training. Then comes the Confined Water (swimming pool) training. Following that are two half-days of Open Water (lake dives) to complete the certification. This full certification, which is offered in the late spring, summer, and early fall seasons, is $450.
 
However outdoor Confined Water (swimming pool) and Open Water (lake dives) are problematic in the winter. Also most students don't want to spend their vacation time doing classroom or pool training. Therefore, Scuba Bruce Diving has developed a system to help students who want to do some of their training here in Texas, and then complete the remaining of their training in the ocean. There are two scenarios available:
 
Divers can opt to just do their Knowledge Development classroom here in Texas. Scuba Bruce Diving then gives students official PADI referral paperwork to take with them on their vacation. There they choose another PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor and delivers the paperwork to them. That instructor then teaches them the required swimming pool and ocean dives to complete their certification. This "classroom only" referral course provides a 50% discount off the normal $450 fee. The $225 fee includes textbook and teaching curriculum. 
 
In the event that students have access to an indoor swimming pool here in Texas that has “a depth in which too deep to stand,” Scuba Bruce Diving can also provide the Confined Water Pool Training. Price for the Knowledge Development classroom and the Confined Water swimming pool training is $350. Again, paperwork is then given to divers who then forward it to a PADI instructor at their vacation desitination and then complete their Open Water dives training in the ocean. Cost for this scenario is $350.
