Pool Training
South YMCA

 

Congratulations on your decision to learn scuba diving. My name is Rick Woeste, and it will be my pleasure to be your instructor for the Open Water Pool Training held at the South YMCA.  
 

Signing Up for Pool Training 
To sign up for Pool Training, please visit:
Southern Ohio Diving Academy (SODA)

At SODA you will be able to pay the course fees, purchase the required materials, and purchase any scuba equipment you may require.  All scuba class participants must provide their own mask, snorkel, fins, and boots.  Other necessary equipment will be provided by SODA.

Orientation Meeting
The first class will be held at the Kettering store. Please be sure to bring your Open Water packet (Blue Pouch).  During the orientation meeting, we will get to know each other, tour the store, learn a bit about scuba, and most importantly, get issued the gear you will use during your training.
