**Due to contractural requirements, the courses held at the WAC will cost $295 for St. Mary's County residents and $300 for non-residents. The course fee covers the online course and pool work. There will be an additional $300 due to complete the certification once you are ready to sign up for one of our quarry checkout weekends to finish the final 4 dives required to obtain certification. The $300 checkout weekend fee will be paid directly to us once you decide on a weekend that works for your schedule.**
