Formats:
Wallin's Dive Center offers 3 standard class formats.
1. Our weekday evening classes meet twice a week for 2 weeks concluding with a weekend in Monterey for your ocean training dives. Classes are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays or you may choose our Monday and Wednesday evening schedule.
2.The accelerated class is designed for those who are comfortable in and around the ocean. Classes meet on a Friday evening, the following Saturday and Sunday, and the following weekend for the final ocean dives. Students choosing this format must have all academic work completed before the class begins.
All formats are available as a travel referral program in which you carry out your class and pool training with us, but complete your ocean dives at some far-off exotic location.
Those students who choose to dive with us in Monterey have the option to learn to use a drysuit during the Open water training.
3. For those with a busy and hectic schedule we also offer private lessons with your own personal instructor working around your schedule.

For the ocean dives you may want to rent the actual scuba equipment, however we do suggest that you consider purchasing your own SCUBA gear during the class so that you may benefit from learning with your very own equipment.
