Becoming a scuba diver is like participating in one of the greatest scavenger hunts
in the world. You never know what you're going to find when you go underwater, and even when you go back to the same place, things will be different.

Diving in an ongoing educational progress. Some of the learning is formal and takes place in a classroom, pool, or ocean. And some of it is informal and will be picked up without benefit of a formal class.

The process starts with what's known as an Open Water or Basic entry-level class. These classes are designed for people interested in earning a certification card so they can begin exploring and discovering our underwater world firsthand.

Continuing education classes are aimed at people who are already certified divers (whether through us or another store or organization) who want to improve their skills and learn more about this fascinating sport. Most of these classes can be taken directly after the basic class, but some have prerequisites. Details can be found by clicking the "All you need to know" button.
