Dive training goes on throughout the year. In the winter, classroom and the pool are utilized to complete confined water training. Open water training can be completed while on a Scuba North group trip, on vacation, or in the spring, once water warms up in the area.
Basic Scuba Diver classes are taught over a minimum of 5 sessions to make training comprehensive and thorough, as well as to foster more enduring learning. During the extremely cld and ``hard`` water months, Pool Courses are offered. Pool Classes consist of the academic and confined water portions of the Open Water Certification Course. Options to complete the requirements for the Open Water Certification range from referrals to any world wide NAUI shop or to any agency participating in the Universal Referral Program (SDI, SSI, YMCA) -- better yet, join one of the Scuba North trips and finish up in style! Classes are offered throughout the year in Traverse City, and Charlevoix.
Basic Scuba 1 week summer classes meet each Monday through Friday &endash; 5 straight days. We don`t go to the pool but use Long Lake for our Confined Water Training and finish in the Bay for the Open Water portion.
Open Water Training (Completion of Pool Classes) are done over 2 days with 4 scuba dives and 1 skin dive.
Advanced Scuba Diver classes consist of 6 dives/ 3 days to better hone skills that divers will find essential in gaining experience. These dives consist of Navigation, Deep and Night dives; the remaining 3 dives are elective and can range from Underwater Salvage, Search and Rescue, Photo, Video to WreckDiving.
Scuba Rescue Diver course is a prerequisite for NAUI Leadership courses including Divemaster and Instructor. Adult CPR and NAUI Advanced Diver or equivalent must be completed prior to taking this class. Minimum age is 17 years. There are 6 dives spread out over 3 weekends. DAN Oxygen Provider will be included in this training.
Advanced Nitrox - ANDI CSU is a one day class to educate the diver in the benefits of oxygen enriched air, the limits, hazards, and its safe use. Included is the student kit with workbook, charts, a certification folder, instructor`s fee, and 2 nitrox dives.
Location description: Travel Scuba North arranges a number of group scuba travel opportunities during the course of the year. We regularly book Caribbean dive destinations such as Cozumel, St. Kitts, Guanaja, Bonaire, Bahamas, Roatan, Dominica, Turks and Caicos, Belize, and Utila, as well as Pacific destinations like Truk Lagoon, Palau, and more. We also arrange domestic dive trips to places like Tobermoray, North Carolina, Florida, and Bonne Terre.
Our group rates are lower than internet prices, and include far more, with most trips including meals, transfers, and taxes typically not included in other packages. In most cases, a Scuba North representative will accompany the group on their trip, and will work to assure that everything goes smoothly. These are not guided tours where you must follow a set itinerary; they are footloose and carefree vacations set up for your diving enjoyment.
Scuba North offers shipwreck diving charters to the Manitou Passage for beginners. The depths are shallow (0`-45`) and visibility is generally good. These all day charters are fun for divers of all levels.
For beginning to intermediate divers, we offer charters to Lake Charlevoix. The depths are a little bit deeper (35`-65`) and more of the shipwrecks are intact. The Keuka and the Elizabeth II make for excellent dive sites, and attract many divers to the area.
For more experienced divers, Scuba North has charters to the Straits of Mackinac. The shipwrecks are generally larger, and the depths are often deeper (40`-130`). Sites vary widely, depending on the weather and wind conditions. These are normally half-day charters.
For those divers who can show a history of training and diving in deep, cold conditions, there are the well-preserved shipwrecks of Whitefish Bay in Lake Superior. The water temperatures normally flirt with 40º F, and the depths range from 50`-165`. To dive on our Whitefish Bay charters, divers must show verification of experience.
Reglarly scheduled trips to the wrecks sites run on a weekly basis throughout the dive season. Scuba North can arrange for a wreck diving experience for any group of 6 who wishes a personal charter also.
