Our Certification Adventures: We are fully transparent and do not have hidden fees or gimmicks. Our certification prices are per person and all inclusive, including photos and videos. We practice the highest safety standards and limit each class in size, and every certification is taught directly by veteran NAUI Instructor, SCUBA Steve! All of our dives only take place at the best dive sites in Florida. Each course can be broken into 4 components: Self study, classroom session(s) (virtual), confined water dives (pool or pool like environment), and open water dives. All of the gear we provide is less than a year old, is in excellent condition, and provides for an extremely comfortable dive. We also provide steel tanks, while most companies provide the lesser cost aluminum tanks. Steel provides a better diving experience as it helps with your buoyancy control.
This is your entry course into underwater adventure. During this course, you will learn about the underwater adventures that Florida has to offer, learn the vital skills for SCUBA diving, how to operate standard dive equipment, and explore incredible dive sites! Upon completion, you will be certified to dive independently (always with a buddy) within your training, utilizing enriched air, which allows you to spend more time underwater and less time on the surface than standard air.

This means more time underwater and less time on the boat when you go SCUBA diving. During this course, you will learn the additional planning protocols involved to use this air mix.
