Upon completion, you'll get a Discover SCUBA Diving Certificate! This allows you to dive under direct supervision of a SCUBA professional and is a credit to the Open Water Diver Certification for 14 days.
**Please Note**
If you do not complete your paperwork before attending it will come out of your class time and will be an extra $50 to make up for the wasted time. This is NOT A CERTIFICATION COURSE! You will not be allowed to SCUBA dive without a SCUBA professional after this. SCUBA diving without proper training can result in serious bodily harm.
**You can get the proper training to dive on your own by taking part in our PADI Open Water Course!**

Booking Notes
**Mahalo for choosing Hilo Ocean Adventures for your certification! 🤙**
We're excited to have you as a student and can't wait to get you in the water. First thing to take care of: your paperwork.
**Complete your forms before your course starts**
All of your forms are online now. Just fill them out at the link below before you attend any portion of your course. If your forms aren't done, we can't begin your course until they are, so knock this out early.

Lose this email? No worries, just reach out and we'll resend the link.
One note on the Diver Medical questionnaire: if any answer calls for it, have a physician sign off that you're cleared to dive before your course. Handle that early, since a missing clearance can hold up your start.
**Flying and elevation after diving**
If your course includes an ocean dive, plan your travel around it:
- Wait 12 hours after a single dive before flying or going above 2,000 ft
- Wait 18 hours after multiple dives
- This applies to driving too. You can pass 2,000 ft in about 14 minutes of driving here
- When in doubt, wait longer, and plan to stay in the Hilo area until your window clears
Questions about any of the forms? Call (808) 934-8344 or email reservations@hilooceanadventures.com.
Stoked to dive with you,
