Private Scuba Certifications

Our certifications cater to small, private groups of up to four divers, offering a personal and focused learning environment.

For courses not requiring a pool session, the training is conveniently conducted 100% aboard our vessels, allowing you to enjoy the full dive experience without the need for shore diving.

All-Inclusive Certification Packages

Unlike many dive schools that advertise a base price and then add on extra fees for rental gear, tanks, and other essentials, we offer upfront, all-inclusive pricing.

How Our Courses Work

1. Purchase your course

2. Approve your custom class plan

Upon receiving your request, we'll create a custom class plan for you, selecting boat trips that align with your availability.

3. Meet your instructor on a quick call

After your plan is set, we'll match you with one of our skilled instructors, who will reach out to you for an introductory email or call, during which your instructor will provide a course overview and discuss meetup plans.

4. Complete your eLearning

Your instructor will email you the login details for your eLearning materials and necessary forms. It's important to complete the theoretical part of your course before your scheduled dives to ensure you're fully prepared for the practical sessions.

5. Complete your boat dives

All you need to do next is show up for your boat dives (or pool sessions, if applicable) at the prearranged times. Our crew will be ready to welcome you and guide you through the diving experience.
