Echo OW students earn their PADI Open Water Diver scuba certification during the first two days of the program, completing four dives.  They then enjoy four more recreational dives during the regular program in the BVI and Leeward Islands.

Tuition covers all program expenses on this outdoor adventure education program except for transportation to/from the program (ie. airfare, ferry), certain optional course fees, dive insurance, a one-time departure tax (approximately $20), medical expenses and personal spending such as souvenirs, snacks, phones, and optional meals ashore.

We highly recommend that you protect your financial investment and consider purchasing our Trip Mate Travel Insurance policy.  Dive insurance is required for all diving activities, and you may use Trip Mate to satisfy this requirement.  Trip Mate does not exclude scuba diving and will cover you during the dates of your trip with us.
