We offer both full and partial PADI certification courses. Still confused?
This option is your entire Open Water certification. This includes your Classroom and
Pool sessions and your Open Water dives.Read More
Our wonderful team of fun instructors will complete your classroom portion as well as the in-pool scuba training with you over two days (typically one weekend). The Open Water dives, also known as your certification dives, are completed in close proximity to Toronto on a separate weekend. Our scuba team will have your dive gear ready and waiting for you both at the pool and at the dive site where you will complete your certification dives.
For your convenience our classroom and pool are both located in the same facility, the gorgeous Bishop Strachan School, a private school for girls in Forest Hill, Toronto. Please note, however, that you are responsible for your own transportation to and from both the pool and the open water dive site. If you are interested in this option please add this to your shopping cart.
The classroom portion of this course is available through eLearning for any of our class and pool sessions. Please note, if you want to complete the class and pool course mid-week, as opposed to the weekend, then you can only do this using the eLearning option. Please visit the eLearning page below.
This option includes only the classroom and pool sessions. Open water dives will need to be taken separately to complete your certification. Read More

Did you complete your classroom and pool with another PADI scuba diving institution, but didn’t get to complete your certification dives? If so, bring your log book to us, with the completed classroom and pool sections and let’s get you fully certified.
If you took your classroom and pool with the Toronto Scuba Club, but didn’t sign up for the certification dives at that time, you can change that now and choose the second option when you sign-up.
elearning is the perfect choice for students who want to save even more time by completing the classroom session at home and joining us only for the in-pool training. Read More
In order to complete the Full Open Water certification, you need to take the classroom portion, the pool session and the four certification dives. The eLearning option simply means that you can complete the classroom portion of the Open Water certification at home, online and in your own time. Many students choose this option to save them time on a weekend (where you need only show up for the pool session) or if they want to complete the pool session mid-week. eLearning is the only option for midweek Open Water courses.
For a full description of the eLearning process, please read our general eLearning Page
The eLearning courses use PADI’s online eLearning programmes. As such, PADI directly controls that aspect of any eLearning course. This means that eLearning courses are usually a little more expensive than our regular in-class courses (the Toronto Scuba Club initially pays for your eLearning pass). Most of our eLearning students usually find, however, that the increase in cost is more than offset by the time they save. Students doing eLearning have one year to complete the online portion of this course.

At Toronto Scuba Club we believe everyone should have the chance to experience scuba diving. Every week we stride into the pool with groups of potential students who want to try out scuba. Some want to see if they like it and some simply want to try it to confirm what they already know. Stop putting it off and take that extra step! Jump in the water and see what all the fuss is about with the largest growing sport in the world. For only $25, you can jump in our pool with full scuba equipment, we’ll show you some basic skills and you can take a dive in a nice and safe environment! The best part is, that if you then decide to take the next step and get your Open Water certification, we will credit you with the $25 off the price of the Open Water Class & Pool course or the Full Open Water certification course.
