Getting Started

Start your adventure, excitment today!

Depending on the certification you are seeking, the length of time for certification may vary. Example, Enriched Air ( Nitrox ) will not require in water dive time, where as Open water will require in water and thus require more time for certification. There is an obligation by us to meet your needs and there is no problem performing certification during the weekdays, including any open water dives required, unless a Wreck course certification is needed. Normally Wreck alley out of San Diego is an affordable and great place to become certified for Wreck certification. An Open Water certification can be completed within a week, your pace. Maybe you just want a review, touch up and possibly wanting to improve your skills, check it out.

Private Lessons for Certification

Private lessons are 1 instructor with 1 participant as preferred but we have no problem with working with families, couples, so please note to us the type of training within the email contact during the request. With private lessons, if a student needs more time, he or she will get it. In most all shops, students are trained in groups, scheduled times have to meet the groups need. This is not how private instructions are carried out. We move with you as much as possible. If you and your family want to be certified together, we are perfect.
