Safely try scuba diving for a day in both pool and fresh water dive sites through our beginner program. While this does not earn a certification, it’s a good way to experience diving and see if it is for you. This time can be credited towards your Open Water Diver certification if you decide to take it forward.
Choose to dive at either Blue Grotto or Devil’s Den freshwater springs for a real taste of what diving has to offer.
Includes all gear and entrance fees - just bring a swimsuit and towel.

Finally complete four open water dives at Blue Grotto or Devil's Den freshwater springs, where you will demonstrate your newly acquired skills while exploring the sites.
