Classroom: some specialties require classroom, other cover material in pre and post dive briefings. Ask your instructor for details.

Training Locations: Lake Nagawicka or Lake Michigan off of the LenDer and Reef Diver charters.

Lake Nagawicka: we meet at the beach house next to the boat launch. To get there from Milwaukee, take 1-94 West toward Madison, exit HWY 83 and head north. After you Pass the Nagawaukee Ice Center, you will pass the entrance to Nagawaukee Park on your left, take the next left, which will take you down to the boat launch area. If you pass a church on your right, you went too far. You will need to unload your equipment and park at the top of the hill, parking is $4.00 per day during the summer.

Equipment: If you are renting equipment, you will need to stop at the shop to be fitted for your wet suit and pick up your equipment before your training dives. You will get a wet suit, hood, gloves, your BC and regulator as well as two tanks.
