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.
private lessons

Private scuba lessons offer flexible scheduling, allowing you to learn at your convenience. With personalized, one-on-one instruction, you can progress at your own pace while fitting sessions around your schedule, making training more efficient, comfortable, and time-effective.
