Open Water
Open Water Diver certification is your passport to the underwater world! This globally recognized course teaches you the fundamentals of scuba diving, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to safely explore the ocean. Upon completion, you'll be certified to dive to a specific depth with a buddy, opening up a world of underwater adventures.
Advanced Open Water
The Advanced Open Water Diver certification is a scuba diving qualification that allows certified divers to expand their skills and explore new diving experiences. It typically involves completing a series of dives with an instructor, including deep dives, navigation dives, and specialty dives of your choice. This certification can open up opportunities for more challenging and diverse dives, such as night dives, wreck dives, or drift dives.
Peak Performance Buoyancy
Peak Performance Buoyancy is a scuba diving certification that teaches divers how to achieve perfect buoyancy control. This skill is essential for becoming a confident and relaxed diver, as it allows you to float effortlessly, use air more efficiently, and observe marine life without disturbing it. The course covers topics such as determining the right amount of weight, streamlining your gear, and mastering neutral buoyancy.
Wreck Diver
A Wreck Diver certification provides the skills and knowledge to safely explore shipwrecks and submerged structures. The course includes wreck history, assessing, using specialized equipment, and safe penetration techniques while respecting cultural significance of these sites. It prepares divers to responsibly explore these captivating underwater environments.
Search and Recovery
The Search and Recovery Diver certification teaches divers the skills and knowledge needed to plan and execute underwater search patterns to locate lost items. This certification is valuable for divers who want to be able to find lost items, whether it's their own equipment or something that someone else has lost. It can also be a useful skill for divers who are interested in marine archeology or other underwater research.
Full Face Mask
A full-face mask diver certification teaches divers how to safely and effectively use a full-face mask underwater. The course covers topics like mask fit, clearing, equalization, and emergency procedures specific to full-face masks. This certification isn't a standalone entry-level course; divers typically need to be already certified as Open Water Divers (or equivalent) before taking a full face mask course.
Enriched Air Diver
Enriched Air Diver certification, also known as Nitrox certification, teaches divers how to safely use breathing gas with a higher oxygen content than regular air (21%). This offers benefits like extended bottom times and reduced nitrogen narcosis, allowing divers to stay underwater longer and feel less tired. The course covers the theory of enriched air, analyzing gas mixtures, and understanding the risks associated with higher oxygen percentages.
Deep Diver
Deep Diver certification trains divers to safely plan and execute dives beyond the Open Water recreational limit of 60 feet or 18 meters. This course covers the physiological and psychological effects of diving deeper, like nitrogen narcosis, and teaches divers how to manage risks associated with increased pressure. It also involves specialized equipment considerations, gas planning, and emergency procedures specific to deep diving.
Navigation
Navigation diver certification teaches divers how to use a compass and natural navigation techniques to find their way underwater. This skill is essential for divers who want to explore new dive sites, avoid getting lost, and safely return to their starting point. The course covers topics such as underwater compass use, estimating distances, and following natural clues like bottom contours and sunlight.
