Course
Sound
Dive Center (SDC) is just a short 5 minute drive south
on High Way 16, in Bremertons Auto Center. (map
to SDC). You can train in a relaxed and professional
atmosphere, with the most experienced dive training
specialists in the north west. Sound Dive has served
Central Kitsap and Silverdale for 35 years. Since our
move to our new 6000
square foot dive center in 2004, travel time to
Sound Dive Center has never been easier.
We specialize in teaching Family's, teens, kids and
people just wanting to dive in the warm waters of Mexico,
or Fiji or destinations that dreams are made off. When
you "Jump into" a Sound Dive Center (SDC)
SCUBA Diver course, it will be your pass to a lifetime
of adventure in SCUBA Diving. This is the dive course
that students from Central Kitsap and Silverdale have
started their years of dive travel, adventure and exploration.
Why a SDC Open Water Course?
As a SDC Open Water Diver, you will receive a NAUI/PADI
certification. A certification that is recognized the
world over. You will receive the knowledge and experience
of 35 years of serving the SCUBA community. We provide
training at Olympic
College, Olympic National
Park (rangers), Scout groups and
teen
scuba camps. We teach at our state of the
art Dive
Center for most of our classes. Special class locations
can be arranged.
Are you going on a exotic trip and need the training
required to have the time of your life? We are the place.
A SDC SCUBA diver is the admiration
of divers the world over.
Getting Started?
If you are in good health, comfortable in the water
and of reasonable fitness, you can earn a SDC
SCUBA Diver certification. You must be at least
12 years of age and there is NO MAX AGE Limit. We even
have a special program for Teens
& youth during the spring and summer breaks.
What takes place during my course?
You will learn the fundamentals of snorkeling and scuba
diving. You will easily accomplish this by completing
five swimming pool and academic sessions. Your five
open water dives will be completed over a two day period.
See our calendar for a schedule.
How long will it take?
The SDC courses typically takes 3 weeks, meeting twice
a week (in the evening), usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
With our 2 open water “check out” days on
the weekend. Weekend course are available as requested.
(beware of the weekend marathon "quickie class"
that provides minimal water time and rushed instruction
and usually requires costly remediation to complete
certification). Nothing replaces time in the pool and
openwater.
What about a "two weekend class"
"Weekend" classes should be the last resort.
One of the large seattle "chair stores" run
these "quickie" classes a couple of times
a year. Only about 40% of the students make it thru
these marathon weekends!
Your own speed
SDC believes that everyone learns at their own speed.
We allow, in fact we encourage our customers to progress
at their own speed. Yes, you can repeat the pool work,
if you are not ready for Open water.
Leave the "MACHO" at home!
SDC believes that scuba diving is meant for the whole
family. Kids, moms, dads, grandparents all feel comfortable
with our fine group of diving educators. Women feel
as comfortable with our programs, as do teens and youth.
Unlike other programs the tough macho diver or instructor
wont be found at SDC.
