Bay Area who claim that for $199 you can become a certified Scuba Diver in one weekend. Please don't be fooled by misleading advertising - that is not possible with any agency. Some agencies consider their "Scuba Diver Certification" to be an entry level certification which only allows you to dive with an Instructor.

All the information presented on my website is factual, honest, and easy to understand.

At the successful completion of your open water training you will be issued a NAUI Scuba Diver certification card. The certification card allows you to dive anywhere in the world without the supervision of an instructor. The NAUI card is respected worldwide and it gives you access to diving fun and adventure reserved solely for people with your qualifications.

For our new students who wish to purchase their own "personal gear" (mask, snorkel, gloves, boots, and fins), we offer a Scuba Diver Special priced at the unbeatable low price of $159.00. We recommend you make no Scuba equipment purchases (buoyancy compensators, regulators, tanks, computers, etc.) until after your Scuba Diver course is completed. This enables you to make wise purchases based on the experience and knowledge you have gained during your Scuba certification course. If you decide to make Scuba equipment purchases after you are certified, we offer huge savings on quality gear.

For dates of all Scuba certification classes go to Course Schedule and Prices, where all course dates and fees are listed. For a group of six or more, I will conduct a complete Scuba Diver certification course to meet the scheduling requirements of your group.

For those of you who prefer warm water diving, Mitchell Scuba is a participant in the "Universal Referral Program", which has been adopted by the following Scuba certification agencies: NAUI, YMCA, SSI, NASDS, PDIC, & IDEA. This program gives students the option to complete their open water training anywhere in the world with participating instructors. We also accept referrals for completion of their dives at California locations such as Monterey Bay and the Sonoma/Mendocino Coast.
