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

At SODA you will be able to pay the course fees, purchase the required materials, and purchase any scuba equipment

Orientation Meeting
The first class will be held at the Kettering store. Please be sure to bring your Open
