Put Your Skills to the Test

An open water evaluation dive is a practical assessment that allows scuba diving students or certification candidates to demonstrate their diving skills in a real-world underwater environment. Unlike confined water training, which takes place in a pool or controlled setting, this evaluation occurs in an open water location such as an ocean, lake, or quarry. During the dive, an instructor observes and assesses essential skills like buoyancy control, mask clearing, regulator recovery, and emergency procedures to ensure the diver can safely and confidently navigate underwater conditions. Completing an open water evaluation dive is a crucial step toward earning a scuba certification, confirming a diver’s readiness to explore the underwater world independently.

We perform our evaluation dives at Pennyroyal Quarry.
