NAUI has been committed to minimizing risk by maximizing education for over 55 years. As members successfully complete NAUI’s strenuous but rewarding programs, they are then granted the freedom to adapt their teaching methods to meet the independent and regional needs of each student during dive training.
Additionally, upon completion, members are better qualified to make sensible and more responsive decisions based on instinctual judgments regarding the level of risk inherent in all types of diving situations.
In the list below you’ll discover the many fine programs offered by NAUI. Click on the button below for more information and some of the course prerequisites.
Begin your underwater explorations by enrolling in a NAUI Open Water SCUBA Diver Course. This is our entry-level certification course where you will learn the fundamental knowledge and skills to safely dive in open water.
Enroll in the Naui Advanced Scuba Diver course to explore new dive sites and undertake exclusive activities under the supervision of a NAUI Instructor. This course allows individuals to learn about specialties and diving activities of particular interest.
During this course, you will learn how to choose the proper blend of Nitrox for your dive profile, determine maximum depth limits for your Nitrox mixture, analyze your breathing mixture, and plan and safely execute each dive. Your instructor will teach you about the advantages, disadvantages, and risks of using nitrox.
Drysuits are nearly a must for diving in the PNW. They increase our comfort and safety while diving in our chilly waters and let us dive all year long. In addition, divers who own drysuits tend to dive a lot more than divers who have to climb into cold wetsuits in the middle of winter and knowing how to dive in a drysuit is essential.
Despite all the best training and planning, sometimes the unexpected happens. In order to be prepared, NAUI provides training in First Aid, CPR, AED, Bloodborne Pathogens, Oxygen Administration and First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries. All training complies with the latest International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) standards.
This training is beneficial in all aspects of life, whether in or out of the water.
