Divers Medical
The largest hurdle to getting in the water can be your divers medical. While the tests aren't a problem for most, the long wait times can mean missing the course date you want. We recommend starting the process as soon as possible. We've put together a list of doctors which you can find through the link below.
Accomodations
If you're from out of town it will be important to find a place to stay. It can be difficult to find rentals in town so we recommend beginning the search as soon as you can. We have accommodations available to students which also fills up fast so applying early is best. Accommodations provide a great space to connect with your classmates.
