Learn to Scuba Dive on Vancouver Island
Private PADI Open Water + Dry Suit training, built around you — not a class schedule.
Never Been Scuba Diving Before?
Perfect. That's exactly what this course is for.
We start at the beginning and teach you the skills to become a safe, comfortable and confident diver. No previous diving experience is required.
Learning to Dive Is Three Simple Steps
Learn the theory, practice the skills, then take those skills into the ocean.

Complete your PADI online learning at your own pace.
Practice
Work directly with your instructor in confined water until you're comfortable with the skills.
Go Diving
Complete your open-water training dives in real British Columbia diving conditions.
Your Pace. Not the Class's Pace.
People don't all learn at the same speed, so we don't believe your training should be controlled by a fixed group schedule.
You move forward when you and your instructor agree you're ready.
Learn something quickly and we move ahead. Need more practice? You get more practice. That's why our training is private and performance-based.
Learn to Dive in a Dry Suit From the Beginning
British Columbia has extraordinary diving — and cold water. That's why our Open Water students learn in dry suits from the beginning.
Dry suit training is incorporated into your course so you're learning in the equipment you'll actually use for diving here.
