What to Bring

Everyone should bring:

Why Attend Pool Day?

Pool Day isn't another certification course unless you've specifically scheduled training with us. It's an opportunity to get underwater and work on you.

Practice the skills you want to improve. Get comfortable with your equipment. Work with our instructional staff. Prepare for your next course or trip. Or just enjoy spending a few hours underwater with other local divers.
