Now that many new divers have gotten involved with – or back into – scuba diving this summer, it’s time for Scuba Shack to introduce the 2010 continuing education package specials. The 2010 Black Card program includes everything you need to advance to PADI’s professional level of diving.

For the Black Card program this year, you’ll need to pre-qualify as an Open Water Diver who has taken Scuba Shack’s Buoyancy & Control 101 program, and the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox class (or equivalent).

This package – which must be purchased in advanced to realize the cost savings – includes the PADI Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver and Divemaster classes, plus the Emergency First Responder (EFR) first aid and CPR program, and the GUE Fundamentals class. Although the program must be purchased in advance, payment plans are available.

These programs, individually priced at $2,375, has been set at a price so low you’ll be calling Ed Hayes at Scuba Shack to double check we did not make a typo. The package price for this program is $1,325 – a savings of more than $1,050.

We have two Advanced Open Water Divers classes on the calendar, plus EFR programs on a regular basis. For more information, set up an training counseling session – which is required – with Ed Hayes by calling Scuba Shack at (860) 563-0119.
