Scuba Diving Certification Courses

Fort Lauderdale is an excellent place to learn one of South Florida's signature pastimes. The beginner course costs $395.00 and that price includes all equipment and boat rental fees. The only pieces of equipment you need to bring are mask, fins, snorkel, weights, and the willingness to learn.

  • Classroom sessions run on Tuesday evenings from 6-9pm
  • Pool sessions run on Thursday evenings from 6-9pm at the competition pool
  • Open Water certification dives are conducted on Saturday and Sunday at the conclusion of the course (weather permitting)
  • You must attend all the classroom and pool sessions and pass the written exam for certification.
