Q. If their is a certification what are the levels? How long does the certification last?
A Yes the beginning level is Open water and progresses to all levels thru instructor. I recommend that you go thru at least Rescue level this allows you to help yourself and others in the rare occassions that someone gets into a stressfull situation. The basic open water class can be complete in a 3 week format with a weekend for the open water experience. This can also be done in a weekend format as well.

Q. As a new student should I buy the equipment or rent it? If I can rent it where do I get it and how do I make sure it will work right for me? What does it cost?
A. As a new student I would buy my mask snorel and fins wihich I consider personal equipment. The life support equipment I would rent for a while unless you fall in love with the sport Like I did.
The cost be in the range of 800 - `1200 dollars. for good basic equipment.
