This course is available for students who are currently enrolled and taking classes at UCF. We are currently working on adding access to our certifications for RWC Members, UCF Faculty and Staff, and Valencia students.\n\nUpon successful completion of this course and check-out dives, graduates are considered competent to engage in open water diving activities without supervision, provided the diving activities and the areas dived approximate those of training. No previous SCUBA experience is required; however, basic swimming skills are necessary to complete the course.\n\nCost \nThe total cost of the certification is $400 with $60 due at the time of registration. The rest of the price is due the first weekend of the certification paid to Ranger Rick SCUBA Adventures. If you pay with card there is an extra $5 charge for fees making the total $405. \n\nSchedule\n\nTo receive the SCUBA certification, you must complete two consecutive weekends of training.\n\nAll itinerary times can be changed by the instructor as needed. Here is the general itinerary:\n\n * Friday - 5:30pm-9:00pm in the RWC Wet Classroom\n * Saturday - 8:30-4:00pm in the RWC Lap Pool\n * Sunday - All day check out dive at a local dive destination\n * Following Weekend (Sat or Sun) - All day check out dive at a local dive destination\n\n\n\nRegistration & Refund Policies \nThe registration deadline for each course is the Wednesday before the first weekend. Participants may request a refund for their deposit, or to be transferred to another certification month, until the Outdoor Adventure Center closes on that day. No refunds or transfers will be given after the registration deadline, regardless of the reason. Participants are allowed up to 1 free transfer; after that, the participant must pay another deposit. Failure to be on time for class sessions, pool sessions, and/or dives may result in complete forfeiture of all payments. In the event that Outdoor Adventure or the SCUBA program cancels a course due to weather, insufficient participation, etc, participants will receive a full refund.\n\nYou can register and pay your deposit online [here!](https://ucfrwc.org/Program/GetProgramDetails?courseId=b447c8fc-c048-4a21-9aae-bc6fa4de4aba&semesterId=e779d5c4-726f-488e-b1f4-2f72e53e3d8e) Registration will open ~3 months before the class date.
