Beginner SCUBA Certification
Group Classes
Taking a beginner SCUBA certification class in a group environment is the most popular way to take a class. Besides being the most cost-effective class, this type of class also allows new divers to meet other entry level SCUBA Divers. Group classes are offered every month on pre-arranged dates. The number of students in the class typically ranges between 6 to 8. See our upcoming beginner SCUBA certification class dates below.
Semi-Custom Dive Classes
If your schedule doesn’t work with our pre-arranged dates for dive classes, a semi-custom beginner SCUBA certification class may be the answer for you. Custom Dive classes are a hybrid of, both, group and private lessons. The class and pool session will be customized to your schedule, while your open water dives will be completed with one of the group classes on pre-set dates. See our upcoming class dates below.
Custom Dive Lessons
Do you prefer learning one-on-one? If so, 100% Custom beginner SCUBA certification is your perfect fit! Your classroom session, pool sessions, and open water dives are all catered to your schedule.
