divers, beginners and for snorkelers and riders.

The Discover Scuba Course allows those who have never tried it, to safely experience the thrill of scuba diving. Participants of the introductory scuba diving course learn about diving in three simple steps. First, a brief orientation will be given by a certified scuba instructor, followed by the first underwater experience in a pool-like body of water. Finally, under the careful supervision of a certified instructor, guests will practice a few skills and then go on an actual scuba dive in shallow, calm water and escape to a unique part of our world with vivid colors and fascinating aquatic creatures. The dive site is a 25- minute boat ride away on a U.S. Coast Guard inspected vessel and our Captains are all licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard as well. All the equipment that is required is included.

For Certified Divers, dive depths range from 35 feet to 70 feet and offer very relaxed, safe diving with little or no surge or current and outstanding visibility -- often over 100 feet! Most days, the diving format includes a dive on a coral reef and a second dive on a wreck. Certified P.A.D.I. (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) Divemasters or Instructors accompany divers on this tour, and the informative pre-dive briefings and the pointing out of unique marine life and any hazards on the way, enhance the safety and educational value of this tour. Certified divers must bring their certification card to the dive.

Non-diving guests who wish to join divers on the boats for snorkeling or just relaxing, are welcome at a small additional charge.
