Divers Reef has been certifying divers since 1972, and over the years it has become a tradition to do your PADI certification dives at "The world famous Blue Hole" in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. However, there is life beyond the Blue Hole! Divers Reef has designed an entirely new approach to your open water certification adventure.

Classroom and Pool Sessions

Our confined water dives and classroom sessions will remain the same high quality training experience we are known for and that you expect of us. These sessions cost $220.00 per person (subject to change) and include classroom and pool sessions, rental equipment, free use of our pool for life and a mask and snorkel you'll keep upon completion of the class. Classroom materials consisting of PADI Open Water manual, logbook and recreational dive planner cost $39.95 per person. Videos that may be shared are $23.00.
