We can set up a family/group class to meet your needs.

BEACH DIVES

Some of our SCUBA diving classes allow you the opportunity to experience a beach dive (or 2) during your SCUBA certification experience.  During these beach dives, you can practice pool skills, work on more advanced skills like navigation or buoyancy, or just go for a recreational dive.

POOL CLASSES

After your classroom or e-learning coursework is done, this is where your scuba certification experience begins! Under the guidance of your Instructor, you will learn new skills and apply the knowledge from your coursework to your SCUBA diving training experience.

BOAT DIVES

A series of boat dives is generally required to finish your SCUBA diving training for your course.  This is where all the skills you have learned come together to complete your SCUBA certification experience and make you an independent diver! With nearly 30 wreck sites and the 3rd-largest barrier reef in the world right offshore, your SCUBA certification experience would not be complete without at least 1 boat trip!
