What's Involved
We're happy to hear you're interested in becoming
one of the thousands of people who learn to scuba dive each year. Diving is relaxing, enjoying and fun.
Becoming a certified scuba diver is a three-step process: Classroom
training or online training, Pool Sessions, then Open Water Training Dives. You
will be introduced to the world underwater and will learn, through
the proper use of diving equipment, skills, and safety procedures,
how to become a certified scuba diver. And our certified
instructors will provide hands-on training, so you can feel comfortable
while scuba diving.
