Advanced and Specialty Diving Courses

Specialty Diving Courses

Part of our Advanced and Specialty Diving Courses involve getting involved in dive training that allows divers to “specialize” on a particular set of skills or diving environments relevant to their “subject” area of the course, such as the PADI Drysuit Diver Specialty Course, Solo Diver, Deep Diver, Wreck Diver, Underwater Photography, Equipment Specialist, Enriched Air Nitrox and a ton of other great courses!  You can even combine a Specialty Course with your Advanced Open Water Class.

Things to Consider

– Not all dive courses are created equal.

– A perceived “too good to be true” priced scuba course often is and there are hidden costs that price it well above ours, while the quality is well below ours.
