where can i get a free scuba diving certification online?
yeah i was just wondering where i can take online scuba diving courses for free. I looked everywhere and found ssi, but my local diving center isn`t registered with ssi. can anybody help me with this please?
Free Scuba Diving Certification does not exist unless you know someone that is willing to do that for you. Regardless the Scuba Diving Certification organization like SSI, PADI, NAUI, has fees to register you as a Certified Scuba Diver.
Now doing it online – you may find some organization out there offer the classroom portion of the Scuba Diving Certification online. But you have to learn and demonstrate numerous skills at on land, in swimming pool, and in open water – lie the ocean, lake, quarry (deep water). This cannot be done online.
My advice to you would be to do the whole thing with a scuba instructor in person. This process takes multiple days. You will have lots of questions as you start this process.
If you want to know what it takes to go through the process of learning how to Scuba Dive – check out the e-book from the website below.
Does not exist, there is no free lunch. Any reputable certification requires both in water and classroom lessons and both of those cost money.

BJ…on this planet we pay to play. That’s how it is. There is no such thing as a recognized "free" open water certification.
On line or not…doesn’t matter. It’s not free.
Someone has to pay for it. You or someone else. You could try a local PADI shop for what’s called a Discover Scuba. It’s an hour of play time in a pool with an Instructor and some rudimentary skills taught to allow you to dive in that pool safely while under the supervision of an Instructor. You won’t be certified..can’t get air fills or rent gear afterwards but you’ll know what it’s like diving in a controlled environment. Like it? Pay for your online PADI course, do it almost all online but you’ll still need to register with a shop and do your skills and final exams with them. Don’t like it? All that was wasted was a few hours of an afternoon finding out a bit about yourself and drying off a towel and bathing suit.
That’s it pal. You may even have to pay a few dollars for pool rental fees (usually no more than 5 bucks)…but a free OW cert????? Yeah…right…Christmas presents are delivered by BOTH Santa and the Grinch. Nope. Sorry to burst a bubble. Would you cut my grass for free for a summer with your mower and gas for the sheer thrill of it? Didn’t think so and not much different in this. I ‘m sorry if that sounds flippant…but honestly…think about it. Nothing in this life is free, especially if it’s really worth something. That Open Water certification is worth something. That’s how commercial divers start too. Everybody learns to "twim" before dey "twalk" 🙂
