	Open Water Check List & Helpful Hints
Thursday before your Open Water Dives
On the Thursday before, you must stop by the store sometime between 10 AM and 7 PM to be fitted. You will be fitted with a wetsuit, hood, gloves and weight belt. You will take these items with you. If you haven't done so, the open water fee is paid at this time.

Saturday Morning 9:00 AM at Underwater World for Dives 1 & 2
You will meet at the Scuba Center on Saturday morning between 8:45 & 9:00 AM. We would like to leave the store by 9:00 AM. You will be given your tank, regulator and B.C. at that time. As a diver you must be well rested and mentally alert. You will not be permitted to dive if you are under the influence.
Things to bring:
1. All equipment checked out to you the Thursday before. 2. Ground cloth (tarp, etc) to put your equipment on to keep it out of the sand and dirt. This should be large enough for you to change on. 3. If we haven't taken a photo of you (in most cases we have) you need to bring 2 passport size photo's with you. 4. You might want to bring a snack and for sure something to drink. 5. You should be prepared to drive at least 40 miles to the dive site and back. 6. Bring your log book, it's required. 7. You must get your tank refilled for the Sunday's dives. The Scuba Center will be open until 5:00 PM on Saturday. 8. Wash all of the equipment off. Let the wetsuit dry inside out first, since that's the side that will be next to you on Sunday.
