L.A. Scuba

If you're a newish diver in the area, you would be crazy to pass a deal like this up.

You get all of this:
...

The ADP course is taught by the Los Angeles County Underwater Instructors Association, the forefather of NAUI and PADI, just to name a few of the national SCUBA certification agencies. The past guest lecturers reads like a who's who of SCUBA diving covering topics such as oceanography, marine life identification, decompression theory and photography. Other lecture topics have included women in diving, gear maintenance, introduction to commercial diving, technical diving, wreck diving, spear fishing, deep diving, ecology & conservation of marine resources, beach & boat diving, search and recovery, navigation, medical aspects of diving, physics of diving, buoyancy, dive site planning, and survey techniques.

The course structure will be to bring the student diver up to the competent open water level then immediately into rescue techniques for self and others. The course will quickly move into advanced and master diver level topics. Additional certifications earned during this course can include NAUI SCUBA Rescue Diver, NAUI Master Diver, and NAUI Nitrox Diver....
