Popular Speciality Courses Are:

Enriched Air Diver (NITROX)
The most popular specialty course. SCUBA diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no-decompression time, especially on repetitive SCUBA dives.

Deep Diver
Explore deeper dive sites with confidence at depths down to 130 feet. Learn to manage your gas supply, go over buddy contact procedures, and buoyancy control.

Wreck Diver
Ships, airplanes and even cars are fascinating to explore and usually teem with aquatic life. Each wreck dive offers a chance for a new discovery.

Night Diver
The underwater world changes as day creatures retire and nocturnal sea life emerge. If you’ve ever wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, enroll in the Night Diver Specialty course.

Equipment Specialist (under construction)
Learn to manage basic SCUBA diving equipment repairs and adjustments. Understand routine care, maintenance procedures and how dive gear works.

Drift Diver
Drift diving can be relaxing and exhilarating. The course teaches you how to enjoy going with the flow as you SCUBA dive down rivers and use ocean currents to glide along and enjoy the underwater life and sites.

Peak Performance Buoyancy
Observe aquatic life without disturbing their surroundings. Improve the buoyancy skills you learned as a new diver and elevate them to the next level.

Search and Recovery Diver
Retrieve lost items that have fallen overboard or over a dock. Learn effective swimming patterns and using a lift bag for heavy objects.
