We appreciate and embrace the difference that a passionate and safe instructor can make when a new diver enters the water for the first time in SCUBA gear. Our instructors have been hand picked and are the "best of the best".
Our customers are the most important stakeholders in our business and the lifeblood of everything we do.
Our success is dependent upon the collective energy and knowledge of all our team members.
We relentlessly seek out the latest technology in equipment and accessories to keep you outfitted with top of the line gear at the best value around.

We don’t cut corners. Every class, every trip, and every interaction is built on a commitment to quality and safety. Our goal is to ensure you receive the premium training and personal attention you deserve.
