“THE QUALITY DIFFERENCE”

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

 

Our educational program employs state of the art instructional methods and technology delivered by certified professional instructors who are dedicated to your success and bound by our commitment to “Safety Through Education”. Education is the most important thing we do. Our entire company was started with the idea that if we train a diver well and they in turn feel comfortable, confident and competent then we have earned the right to have them as our customer. Our Instructors are the best there are. Each has been carefully selected for their knowledge, skills and love of diving. The Dive Pros instructor team will work harder and provide you with far more training than the minimums required by the industry. Our extensive course offerings include snorkeling and SCUBA programs for children, Skin Diving and Basic SCUBA for Adults, Advanced and Specialty Courses, Technical Programs, Leadership Training and Continuing Education for certified SCUBA instructors. We enthusiastically accept divers from all recognized training agencies into our programs and offer certifications through: NAUI, PADI, TDI, SDI, DAN, ASHI and others. "Safety through education"--we believe it and we live it!

 

We at Dive Pros make every effort to ensure that every student has the safest possible conditions in which to train, as well as, have a positive and fun learning environment.

Course Schedule:

 

SCUBA Diver Weekender:   

Class meets Saturday and Sunday for 2 weekends at our store in Pensacola. Far and away our most popular course, this course creates the foundation of skills and knowledge needed to be a SCUBA diver. Over 30 hours of classroom, pool and applied diving go into this comprehensive certification course. Divers learn the fundamentals of diving sciences such as physiology, physics and the marine environment. Heavy emphasis is placed on the skills needed to use the necessary equipment associated with SCUBA diving. Once a student demonstrates their comfort with the basic skills in our custom training pool, they move to the applied diving segments of the course where the emphasis shifts to practical skills applications. 2 weekend schedules every month help to insure that anyone interested can find the time to learn. This course is offered year round and is available to anyone over the age of 12 years.

Sat & Sun 8AM-4PM (2 weekends)
