It is a rare diver who hasn’t felt the urge to dive deep. As a general rule, divers are adventures people, and deep diving is definitely a cool adventure.

After completing your training, you will be qualified to dive to depths as deep as 130 feet. (4 dives) Price $275 Prerequisite: Advanced Diver Certification

You don't have to wait until you return from a dive vacation to develop your images anymore. You can see what you captured underwater right after you shot it, and if needed delete it and re-shoot. You not only learn how to take good photos, but how to share them with your friends via email or printing. (2 dives) Price $195 Prerequisite: Open Water Diver Certification
You drift down and pass through a window into the past. As you near the bottom, a recognizable shape begins to form. First, you see a straight line, then a round window. Next, a ship materializes in front of you. As you look at the wreck, past and the present meet. Whether sunk intentionally or tragically, whether a sunken ship, a plane or an automobile, the call of wrecks is nearly irresistible to divers. Whether your first or your hundredth dive on a wreck, you will sense the mystery and exhilaration of discovery. In some cases you see changes from one dive to the next as the wreck gradually evolves from a work of humanity to part of the underwater world, while in others a wreck seems timeless –you age and change over the years, but it doesn’t. Through this course, you get the skills, knowledge and procedures you need to answer the call of wreck diving. (4 dives) Price $275 Prerequisite: Advanced Diver Certification
Getting cold while diving does not have to be a necessary part of your adventures! Just replace your wetsuit with a dry suit! It is the ultimate way of diving, especially during those chilly winter months. A dry suit keeps you warm by trapping air between your body and the suit. The warmth further increased by a layer of undergarment that is similar to ski undergarments. During this class you will learn the proper care and use of a dry suit first in our pool, than in the ocean. (2 dives + pool session) Price $235 Prerequisite: Open Water Diver Certification
(2 dives) Price $195 Prerequisite: Open Water Diver Certification
Diving frees us to move through a third dimension. Somehow this makes it ironic that underwater, we are constrained by what physicists call the fourth dimension: time -the no decompression limits. Enriched Air Nitrox is recreational diving’s latest tool in the struggle to safely extend our maximum allowable bottom time.

(2 dives) Price $195 Prerequisite: Open Water Diver Certification
You can dive the same spot day and night, and you will have two totally different experiences. There is still so much to see after the sun goes down. Night diving is very exhilarating, but often a scary thought for those who never tried it. During your night dives you will open a door to a whole different world. You learn to choose the right lights, master the skills of dive planning and night time orientation. We offer this specialty on our overnight trips.

is one of the most interesting courses for those who want to know how the dive computer works, how it can calculate your nitrogen-level and the remaining time you can stay at a particular depth. In this course, you learn how to plan dives to extend your bottom time by crediting you for slower nitrogen absorption when you ascend to a shallower depth. That’s the way you really dive, after all. You’ll learn to use The WheelTM version of the RDP for planning multilevel dives, making it a great companion for your dive computer (as well as a way to make multilevel dives if you forget to bring your computer). (3 dives) Price $195 Prerequisite: Open Water Diver Certification
