What is the MidCoast Scuba Center On-Line Diver Training Program?

Are you a hard-to-schedule professional, homemaker or swing shifter who has always wanted to experience the adventure of diving, but could never make scheduled class times?  If so we have now made it easier for you to fulfill your desire for adventure. MidCoast Scuba Center Inc. is proud to announce our new web-based diver training system. The MidCoast Scuba Center On-Line Scuba Training Program is used to complete the academic portion of your dive training.  

The new MidCoast Scuba Center On-Line Scuba Training Program allows you to learn scuba academics in a rich, fully interactive multi-media environment at your own pace, on your own schedule and in the comfort of your home or office. It is available when you are, 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. Imagine setting your own schedule for scuba training!  

Once your MidCoast Scuba Center On-Line Training Program is completed we will orient you to diving, show you practical diving applications and then invite you to go diving with us to exotic and local dive destinations. See our Dive Adventures page. After all, why are you working so much if not to take some time and enjoy life?

You may take the On-Line SCUBA Training Courses out for a "test drive." Click on the logo for the Scuba Diving International On-Line Training Course below. You will be taken to a site that allows you to try out the course and see how it feels. You may also try the PADI eLearning link for a similar "test drive".

At the end of each trial the site will ask you to sign up for their program. We strongly suggest you log off at that time and contact us to ask any questions you may have before signing up. But if you just can not wait, pick the one you like and get going!

FAQ'S about MidCoast Scuba Center's On-Line SCUBA Training Programs


What do I receive when I enroll in the On-Line Training Program?

When you enroll in our new On-Line Scuba Training Program you will be assigned a Personal Sign-Up Code, a local Professional Scuba Instructor to be your personal "scuba coach" and you will receive a profusely illustrated, full color Companion Text and other training materials to compliment your On-Line Scuba Training Program.

What if I have difficulty with a portion of the Program? 

Your personal MidCoast Scuba Center "scuba coach" will track your progress as you complete your lessons. In the unlikely event you have difficulty with any portion of the program, and you decide you need someone to explain any facet of your On-Line Scuba Training, he / she will be available to you via phone, email or even in person at our brick and mortar Training Facility 8831 Maple St. Omaha, NE.

When I have completed the program, what's next?

During or after your On-Line Training (your choice) your personal "scuba coach" (by now you will be on a first name basis) will meet with you at our Training Facility for a personal evaluation of your On-Line Training.

 When you are finished with your On-Line Training Program you will be introduced to the practical application of diving theory and complete an orientation to diving. Then we'll take you diving in a warm, indoor dive training pool where you will experience the thrill of scuba. In the training pool you will learn the skills necessary for your first diving adventure. Your personal "scuba coach" will then invite you to travel with us on upcoming Dive Adventures. Be sure to ask about our "No Classroom, No Confined Water" Training Option. It gets you into the water as fast as your On-Line Program can be completed! Soon you'll be blowing bubbles and partaking of the beauty of the under water realm!

What personal equipment will I need for my water training?

When you are ready to get wet you will want your own mask, fins, snorkel and diving booties at a minimum. These items require a personal fit. It's recommended that you invest in your own equipment when you start your course for the following reasons:

Mask Dry Snorkel Twin Jet Split Fins Molded Sole Boots Mesh Bag Personal Dive Log Comfort / Easy Change Weight Belt

We strongly recommend you schedule a time to have our professional staff help you choose the fit and features best suited to you. We absolutely guarantee fit and comfort for any equipment purchased from our retail facility. 

Should you need vision correction we specialize in prescription masks. Tell us your prescription in advance and we will have your mask ready in time for you to use during your in-water training. You will also need a swimsuit and a towel for your pool sessions.

One additional item to bring to all sessions: a smile, after all you are learning to dive and having fun!
