A dedicated heart screening for children and teens will take place at Bixby High School, offering a simple HeartCheck designed to catch serious cardiac conditions that often show no outward signs and may be missed during routine checkups or sports physicals.

A child may look and feel well, yet an issue can still be hidden in the heart, and this screening is intended to bring those concerns to light and provide peace of mind. Financial aid is available through partnerships with the Strive for Life Foundation and the Jordan Robert Mann Foundation.

Training takes place in a comfortable 88 degree modern facility, and all scuba gear rental is included. Bringing personal gear is encouraged to build confidence with your own setup. Successful participants earn the SSI Perfect Buoyancy Specialty certification, and the course can be paired with Nitrox to progress toward the SSI Specialty Diver rating. Space is limited, and recurring monthly pool sessions offer flexible scheduling. This session covers the classroom and pool components only.

Build confidence and expand your dive skills with SSI’s Advanced Specialty Diver program, which pairs the main certification with four specialty ratings. The standard bundle includes deep diving, enriched air nitrox, perfect buoyancy, and navigation, and you can tailor the experience by swapping in options such as night or limited visibility, search and recovery, photography, dry suit, wreck, and others. Training blends self-paced online study with in-person learning.

The program provides classroom support, required dives with an instructor, four SSI specialty certifications, the Advanced Specialty Diver credential, and lifetime access to digital materials. Participants must be certified as Open Water Divers, with the Advanced certification issued once 24 dives are logged.

Prepare for upcoming ocean or deeper dives with an Enriched Air Nitrox course that explains how a lower nitrogen mix can extend no-decompression limits and reduce desaturation time. The training emphasizes safe planning and use of nitrox, with a key focus on personally testing your cylinder before each nitrox dive. Topics include the basics of nitrox, how it affects your body and the underwater environment, equipment considerations, and step-by-step dive planning. Many resorts include nitrox without an added fee, yet dive operators commonly ask for proof of nitrox training, so understanding these skills is essential. As an SSI specialty, the course blends home study with brief classroom review and hands-on tank analysis, and there is no in-water session, which makes it a convenient option before a dive trip.
