Coming together to provide quality training

Who can enjoy scuba diving?

Anyone from the age of 8 years old with passing medical check. Why is the medical questionnaire so important? Any medical concerns can be a trigger to injuries while diving. But not all medical conditions will stop you from diving. Your physician will be able to advise you if your medical history or present condition will refrain you from attempting scuba diving.

How can we enjoy scuba diving?

Learning to scuba dive will start from a pool. Any pool that provides a shallow side to stand and a deep side too deep in which to stand is the perfect place for beginners. Find out for yourself if that is something you’ll enjoy by trying out in your own pool, or if you do not have a pool, in your local pool nearby.

We provide all gear and come to you.

"I was first exposed to SCUBA Diving in the late 1980’s when a good friend became Open Water certified. It was a little over a decade before I, a confident transfeminine girl, ‘took the plunge.’ When I did, well it was nothing short of ‘head-first’ into the ‘deep end’ where my passion for Photography met nature’s underwater world, and new adventures began ..."
