Frequently Asked Questions

Our Guarantee:
If in the first 30 days of enrollment or two classes in which you are issued a certification (whichever happens first/soonest) you are not 100% satisfied, we will refund all your training fees (a certification fee of $20 per card and books will not be refunded). No questions asked! The Academy of Scuba is committed to the highest level of training.

Please note this guarantee does not include a refund on any materials, equipment, or certification fees. Refund is limited to the price you paid for the Complete Diver Program.

Do I have to be a certified diver to enroll in the Complete Diver Program?
The Complete Diver Program includes Advanced Level diving specialties. All the courses require basic certification prior to participating. If you are interested in getting certified, please go to LearnScubaToday.

Please note that you need to be Advanced Open Water certified in order to sign up for the Complete Diver LITE Program.

Do I need to own my own equipment to participate in the Complete Diver Program?
We are strong advocates of owning your own equipment. However, ownership is not a prerequisite. You can rent or borrow equipment. However, it should be noted that you must have all the equipment required to participate in the course. Equipment is not included in the program.

Do I need to buy my Classroom Materials through you?
No, you are required to have the classroom materials, but you can purchase them wherever you want. We do sell classroom materials in our store. Usually they are discounted. Please compare our store to others.

Besides equipment, classroom materials, and recommended materials, what else is not included?
A more detailed description of Complete Diver Program features can be found at www.completediver.com/features.html.
