SCUBA TRAINING
IS SCUBA FOR YOU?
SCUBA is for people who want
to live an adventurous lifestyle and experience the freedom of life underwater. It is for those who seek simplicity and want to
experience a closeness with nature. For those
who are more technically oriented, SCUBA offers a myriad of technical gadgets and advanced
training. SCUBA is a wonderful couple and family sport and is a great way for singles to
meet new buddies.
To be a scuba diver, you need to be comfortable in the water and be able to swim. You don’t need to be a strong swimmer, but
being in the water should not cause you stress. The
age for diving today ranges from 10 years old to senior adults. Under water, age is hardly an issue. Being in basic good health is the only other
requirement.
WHY CHOOSE ADVENTURE SPORTS FOR
YOUR
TRAINING?
The answer lies in our instructor staff. Our
staff of 12 instructors has been hand picked for their teaching
skills and their ability
to relate to new divers. Successful in their
own careers, they chose SCUBA diving as a hobby first and later became instructors because
of a need to share their love of the sport with others. It’s
that enthusiasm for SCUBA that makes the Adventure Sports training experience
unique.
ADVENTURE SPORTS trains in a private Junior Olympic-sized pool that is large enough
to teach all the required skills you need to know to become a safe and accomplished diver. SCUBA diving is much more than learning to move up
and down in the water. Learning how to move through
the water horizontally while maintaining a comfortable distance from the coral reef and
other divers is the key to a safe and fun diving experience. Practicing that skill requires a big
training pool. We have it.
ADVENTURE
SPORTS open water training is conducted at Beaver Lake, in Arkansas. A four-hour drive from Kansas City gets you to the
clearest, most beautiful lake in this part of the country.
What sets us apart is that we offer bed-and-breakfast style lodging at no extra
charge in our spacious house right at the water’s edge. We also have a professional dive training boat,
which will accommodate large groups of divers with ease. Here
we will prepare you for the kind of diving you will be doing after you complete your
certification. The two nights’ lodging
and two days’ boat diving, is a dive trip that is not only a lot of fun, but
specifically prepares you for your future diving trips.
ADVENTURE SPORTS teaches the SSI and PADI training programs. Take your pick.
They are equally recognized. It’s
our instructors who make the difference!
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU
NEED?
All you need to get started is a mask, a pair of fins and a snorkel. All other SCUBA equipment is provided for you during the
course. Once certified, you may want to own some or
all of your own SCUBA gear. Active divers do. The occasional diver may want to rent gear at Adventure
Sports, although every diver does better with equipment they own and are familiar with.
SCUBA gear can be purchased through any number of sources, but your best bet is to
purchase your gear through the dive shop you look to for training, travel and service
support. Lets face it, those who do business
with Adventure Sports get the perks (free stuff , free service and valuable advice) that
the “bargain” shoppers never see.
TRAVEL
Adventure Sports offers local diving at Beaver Lake Arkansas every weekend May thru November. For those who
can’t get away for a weekend, we now offer summer weekday dive trips as well. Trips
which include 2 days diving from our 40 foot dive boat and overnight lodging,
all at a very affordable price have become quite a hit. Our exotic trip calendar is varied
and updated on a regular basis.
