Adaptive Diving Programs

We offer programs to fit every level of comfort & mobility. ​Adaptive Diving is a training philosophy that addresses the specific needs of each prospective adaptive diver.  Those that enter the Adaptive Diving Skills Training program train to their specific need/adaption, and we prepare that individual to dive with mainstream Open Water Divers. We do this by including as many standard skills as possible and by jointly training with a Classified Buddy that can fill in the gaps for the prospective adaptive diver. These divers are a team that can dive in most locations with Open Water Divers.

Please note (for all of oue Diving programs):
We do require that you apply online via our website 48 hours in advance of attending to insure we are properly staffed to meet your needs and provide a safe and fun experience!
