Aquarius Dive Shop offers the full range of PADI dive instruction, including most of the PADI specialty courses. Additionally, we can offer any of the DAN (Divers' Alert Network) courses.

Open Water Diver

This is the beginning level, learn-to-dive, certification class. If you want to begin exploring that 70% of the Earth's surface which lies under the oceans, this is where to begin!

Advanced Open Water Diver (AOW)

The Advanced Open Water program is the next step of training beyond the Open Water course an is open to anyone who is a certified diver. This is a great way to improve your skills and meet local divers.  You will participate in 5 Adventure Dives over the course of one weekend.  The AOW course will help you advance your diving skills and introduce you to new types of diving which you may have been eager to try with some guidance from an instructor. 

Emergency First Response (EFR)

Are you prepared to respond to an out-of-water emergency involving sudden cardiac arrest, stroke, shock, or severe injury? This course offers you training in the latest CPR techniques and then proceeds to prepare you for providing life-saving first aid. Divers and non-divers alike will benefit from this course. There are no prerequisites.

Rescue Diver

Once you have mastered the basics of diving and begin to experience concern for the welfare of the other divers around you, this course is for you. The course begins with self-rescue techniques and then progresses to steps you can take to respond to an in-water emergency. Using role playing techniques, students organize and execute rescue efforts for diver emergencies.

Scuba Review / Refresher

If you are already a certified diver but you haven't been diving in a while, this course will refresh your diving skills and allow you to safely practice these skills under the supervision of one of our Divemasters or Instructors.    

Specialty Courses

Increase your skills and confidence while mastering specialty areas of diving that are of interest to you. Check out our packages that lead to the Master Scuba Diver certification, the "Black Belt" of recreational diving.

Divemaster

Take your diving knowledge and skills to the professional level. As a PADI Divemaster, you are qualified to conduct underwater tours, assist with classes, or act as a safety diver on a boat.

Instructor

After becoming a PADI Divemaster, you surely will want to move up to become a full instructor and experience firsthand the joy of introducing new divers to the underwater world.  As a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Center, we offer frequent Instructor Development Courses and can guide you on through Specialty Instructor ratings as well as EFR Instructor. 

 

Courses and Classes Refund Policy: 

All deposits for classes are non-refundable.  However, the deposit may be applied to another course or class if the student must reschedule.  Class and course fees must be paid in full prior to the start of the class or course.  

Once the course or class has started, fees are not refundable.  The only exception is if the Instructor (or the student's doctor) recommends the student be dropped for health or safety reasons.  In this case, the student will receive a partial refund based on the number of sessions attended.  If a student cannot complete a course he/she has started because of a personal emergency, he/she may transfer into a later class of the same course provided space is available.   No refunds or transfers will be given if a student drops out of a class or course in progress at his/her own request.
