Registration Procedures
Here you will find full information on the process of registering and reserving space in one of our diver programs.

Registration Information:

I would encourage you to register as soon as you make the decision to join our program. We keep the training groups very small and they usually fill up well prior to the training dates.  We are forced to turn people away from most classes, so it is important to register early.

To begin:

To begin you should check availability in the program for the dates you would like to join. Click on this link, Water Training Schedule , you will find each class listed as "Space Available" or "Session Full".  Space Available means that there is at least one space available. If you are seeking more than one space, please email us to check availability.  info@seattlescuba.com or info@sfscubaschools.com

Once you have found dates that will work into your schedule, you should print out copies of the registration forms. The following link will download a PDF file of the course registration forms. Depending upon the speed of your connection to the internet, downloading may take a minute or two. We can also email you the forms if your computer does not allow you to download the file.

Registration Forms

Copies of the forms need to be printed out for each diver participating in the program. All forms need to be completed and mailed or faxed in to us.  

Fax Numbers:
Seattle-206.374.2937
San Francisco-415.449.3412
San Jose-408.351.4442
Maui-808.442.0769

Next: We require payment in full at time of registration and we cannot confirm your space in the class till payment is received. Total cost for the course consists of the cost of the appropriate study kit, plus the appropriate tuition. Tuition for the entry level programs (Open Water Diver, Tropical Resort Referral) includes use of all equipment necessary for participation in the program. You will not be required to purchase, or rent any diving gear. There are no other charges. Please call or email for assistance in calculating fees.

To pay by credit card, click on this button:

You will be taken to our company accounts page with the financial organization, PayPal, where you will register your credit card information and send payment to our account. It's an extremely secure credit card transaction service. In the comments field please list the names of all divers and the pool and ocean dates you wish to join.

When we receive notification of payment we will email you a receipt of payment and confirmation into our program. The study materials will be shipped via UPS or Priority Mail. If your mailing address is a Post Office Box, we will ship via Priority Mail. Within the USA you will need to allow 4 working days for receipt of study materials. If you are on a tight schedule, overnight shipping is available. There will be an additional shipping charge of $25 for overnight shipping. If shipping outside the USA, shipping time can take substantially longer.

We also accept payment by check or money order payable to Seattle/San Francisco Scuba Schools and posted to our main accounting office at the mailing address listed above.

If paying by check, please email us with the names of all divers as well as the pool and ocean dates you wish to join. Indicate you are sending a check. We will hold the spaces for you for 4 business days from receipt of your email, while waiting for the check to arrive.

Please choose your training dates carefully. Cancellations received 14 days prior to the start of the water training will be available for refund, subject to a 10% cancellation fee, or can be re-scheduled, and confirmed, to a later date at no additional charge. Cancellations received within 14 days of the start of the water training are not refundable and can be changed to a later training session on a stand-by, space available basis only.
