Question 1

Which agencies do you certify with?

Accepted Answer

We certify through SDI/TDI. We can accommodate, by special request, certifications through NAUI and/or PADI.

Question 2

What is included in the price of a SCUBA course?

Accepted Answer

We believe in complete transparency and up-front pricing. All of the courses we offer include self-paced online course instruction and materials, 2 days of in-water skills sessions, all necessary gear* for your skills sessions, and your certification card** in the cost of the course.

*Gear includes mask, snorkel, fins, booties, BCD, regulator, tank & air, weights, and wetsuit (dependent on current water temperature).

**Certification will ONLY be completed if the student passes the e-course AND ALL SKILLS required for their course level.

Question 3

I am already certified but I haven't done a dive in a long time, do you offer a refresher course?

Accepted Answer

Yes! In fact we highly recommend a refresher course for anyone who has not completed a dive in the previous 12 months.

Question 4

Do you certify kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Courses are available for anyone 10yrs+ with parent permission.

Question 5

I'm not sure if SCUBA diving is for me, but I want to try it. Do you offer something that will let me see if I like it before I commit to an Open Water SCUBA certification?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our Discover SCUBA course is for you. All necessary gear is provided. This course does not require any e-learning courses and includes 30-40 minutes in the water with an instructor learning basic skills, concepts, and how it feels to breathe underwater!

*Please note that this is NOT a certification course; you will not be certified to dive at the end of the course. Our Open Water SCUBA Diver course would be your next step and is the entry-level SCUBA certification course.

Question 6

When are the in-water skills sessions?

Accepted Answer

We work to accommodate your schedule. Most sessions will take place Saturday & Sunday mornings. Other timeframes can be scheduled on a case-by-case basis as you work with your instructor.

Question 7

How big are your class sizes?

Accepted Answer

Class sizes are limited to 4 students per instructor, max. We currently have 2 instructors who may teach concurrently (up to 8 students per group, separated to 4 per instructor).

We also offer private instruction as well!

Question 8

Do you offer special event or group course sessions?

Accepted Answer
