Our "Discover Diving Program" has been around for the last 20 years, but has several added benefits for new Students.Here are 10 of the most important reasons AND benefits to OUR students becoming certified as an Open Water Diver at Rick's Dive 'N Travel Center: (1) We've been in business since 1978 and have certified
over 8,000 divers. Rick's Dive 'N Travel Center is rated one of the top 10 Dive Centers in the United States by the Diving Equipment (2) Our Students have Free use of our indoor heated pool whenever they desire, not only during your class but even after your certification too. (we allow those certified at other locations to use our pool for $25 for each visit). (3) After you have completed ANY class at Rick's Dive 'N Travel Center, you can "audit" the same class as a refresher ANYTIME at NO EXTRA CHARGE. That's a real DEAL! (4) Rick's students receive a reduced rate each time they participate in Open Water Training Dives from our 40' Dive Boat on Lake Ouachita.
