Each month we offer several interesting scuba courses most of which give you PADI certification. You can complete the academics for each course here (usually 1 or 2 evenings) and then make the dives on your trip whether on a Scuba 2000 trip or on your own vacation. Watch for the following courses: U/W Navigation, U/W Naturalist, Night Diver, Boat Diver, U/W Photographer and lots more. Remember that you can combine courses into a training package that saves you money (specialties are as little as $93.00 -1/2 price) and you do not pay in advance. Pay as you learn. We will be posting a 2-month calendar in the Training Section to show all scheduled courses. Please note that we can offer any Specialty Diving Course available. If you have a particular course you'd like to take, let us know and we'll try to arrange it. We do need to have at least 6 participants.
