WHY CHOOSE OUR SCUBA CERTIFICATION COURSES IN LA JOLLA
Learning to dive is more than just a checklist of skills—it’s the beginning of a lifetime of underwater exploration. Our training programs focus on high-quality instruction, hands-on practice, and real dives in San Diego’s most iconic sites. From calm reef areas to kelp forests and canyon walls, every session takes place in an environment that’s as beautiful as it is educational.
We offer both certification options, and provide full rental gear so you can focus on the training—not the logistics. With class sizes capped at four students, you’ll receive tailored guidance every step of the way, no matter your level or learning style.
COURSE OPTIONS FOR EVERY LEVEL OF DIVER
Our Open Water Diver Course is the perfect starting point. You’ll complete four ocean dives with your instructor and gain all the fundamental skills needed to dive anywhere in the world. Choose from private or semi-private formats and train at your pace, with the support of an expert by your side.
For certified divers ready to level up, the Advanced Open Water Diver Course includes five themed dives that expand your capabilities—like navigation, deep diving, and night diving. This course builds both confidence and versatility, unlocking new dive environments across the globe.
Need a refresher? Our Ultimate Refresher Course is designed for divers who’ve been out of the water and want to review core techniques. With two guided shore dives and skills review, you’ll feel recharged and ready for your next trip. We also offer an Open Water Referral Program for students who’ve completed their pool and theory training elsewhere but want to finish their dives here in San Diego.
