The first weekend is spent in the classroom, where students learn the fundamentals of scuba, including equipment, dive theory, neutral buoyancy, and which brands of wax work best against siren songs. Day two also incorporates a pool session where pupils try out what theyve learned and get their first taste of the low life, that is, life below the water.All this preliminary work is just an appetizer for the main course the next weekend, when the class cruises off aboard the Catalina Express fleet for a two-day getaway exploring an otherworld of kelp forests, flocks of fish, and even an eerie wreck or two. Most take advantage of the Friday-evening ferry, which affords the opportunity to relax into the weekend over a few brews and request “Kiss From a Rose” from the islands noisy seal population, though some prefer the 6:15 a.m. boat on Saturday.The sunlit hours of the next two days are spent accumulating all the necessary wetsuit time for certification through six forays into the bays watery wonderland. Saturday evening is wide open, freeing students to explore some of the cantinas friendly with the school, including The Lobster Trap and Luau Larrys
