We train divers under NAUI standards through small rosters and rigorous equipment inspection. Explore our complete curriculum from introductory pool breaths to deep Gulf navigation.
A 1-hour controlled pool or shallow water introductory session. Learn breathing mechanics, regulator clearing, and ear equalization under direct instructor supervision.
Comprehensive baseline qualification. Covers dive physics, gas management, confined pool skill drills, and four verified open water checkout dives in Florida coastal waters.
Five targeted specialty checkout dives down to 30 metres. Focuses on compass navigation, Gulf wreck exploration, deep water gas consumption, and night diving procedures.
Targeted 1-hour confined water assessment for certified divers returning after inactivity. Practice regulator recovery, buoyancy trim, out-of-air drills, and dive table review.
EANx certification covering oxygen partial pressure limits, digital analyzer calibration, maximum operating depths (MOD), and computer configuration for 32% and 36% gas blends.
How candidates advance through qualification benchmarks at our Tampa facility.
Begin in the pool with one-on-one instruction. Learn to breathe with diaphragm regulators, equalize mask pressure, and adjust weight pockets to balance trim without flailing fins.
Complete four ocean checkout dives. You demonstrate controlled ascent rates, execute buddy out-of-air handoffs, navigate reciprocal headings on analog compasses, and deploy surface marker buoys from 6 metres.
Certified divers transition directly into Advanced Open Water ($395–$825) and Enriched Air Nitrox ($200–$225). Expand your depth envelope to 30 metres, decrease surface intervals, and participate in our Gulf boat charters with small manifests.
