Advanced OW
Interested in continuing your dive education? Maybe Advanced Open Water is your next move! Advanced introduces you to different types of diving like night, deep, search & recovery, wreck, boat, peak performance buoyancy, navigation just to name a few! We teach this vital course over a weekend at the quarry. You will do some prep work before your class so it is important to come see us a few weeks before you want to take your class so we can help you get ready. This class is all about the experience of trying these different areas of diving and seeing what you think about them. There is no pool work or testing everything is done on site at the quarry.
Come on, take your next giant stride into the world of Advanced diving! You must pre-register for this class, don’t wait...call today! The following are scheduled dates for Advanced: October 10 & 11

Want to Discover Scuba?? We offer a free scuba tryout session called a Discover Scuba. We can let you try scuba diving before you make the big commitment of the certification class. We highly recommend a Discover to anyone who is not quite sure that diving is for them. We need about 1 hour of your time, we provide all the equipment you need, there is a little bit of paperwork but best of all it’s FREE!! So, what are you waiting for, call us and set up your appointment to try scuba diving. We think you’ll love it as much as we do!!!
