Note Courses with a * requires divers to be Advanced Level or Higher to Enroll.

Open Water Diver Course
The PADI Open Water Diver Course is a full entry level certification you can earn by showing that you have learned the basics of Scuba Diving. This course is the first course most will take. You will need to have your Open Water Diver certification before you can move onto some of the Specialty Courses.

Advanced Open Water Diver Course
PADI's next step in the charts is the Advanced Open Water Diver. Most people wonder what the big difference is between the Open Water Diver course and the Advanced Open Water Diver course. While, for one, you get to take the courses that interest you, and further your education into diving. In the Open Water Diver course, you learn what is necessary to become a safe and responsible diver. But in the Advanced Open Water Diver course, you get to experience five different Adventure Dives. You need to complete one Deep Diver dives, and one Navigation dive. Then either the instructor and/or the students get to pick out 3 other adventure dives to go on.

Equipment Specialist Course
So you know basics of how your regulator works and that your life depends on it underwater, but would you like to learn more about this important piece of equipment? How about your BCD, or your Submersible Pressure Gauge? If so, then this course is for you.

Nitrox Diver Course
What is a Nitrox Diver? While, a normal Scuba Diver uses Compressed Air, that is, air that has run through filters to remove chemicals and particles, along with moisture. So the normal Scuba Diver is really breathing Compressed-Filtered-Air, the same air as you are breathing right now. But, a Nitrox Diver uses enriched air, or air which has had more Oxygen added to the mix. So why, you may ask, would someone want to become a Nitrox Diver? The simple answer is, you can stay underwater at a given depth, longer with Nitrox, then with normal Compressed Air.

Ice Diver Specialty Course
Why would anyone want to Dive into a Frozen Lake? It’s a known fact that in the summer, the sun warms water, and helps create algae. This alga is one of the main reasons that the water is dark in color, and the visibility is low. The other things that can make low visibility and darker waters are: Boat Traffic, Wind, Rain and waves. But, in the winter months, when Ice Covers the water, there is no more Boat Traffic. The Wind has no effect on the water, and it’s to cold to rain. And without the wind, there is no more waves. Also, the cold, icy waters kill off most, if not all the Algae in the water, and it sinks to the bottom, making the Water Clearer, and making the visibility better.

Deep Diver Course
Why would anyone want to become a Deep Diver? Have you heard about Wreck Diving? Most Wrecks are located in waters deeper then 60 feet. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go beyond the 60 foot depth range? 60 feet marks the limits for the Open Water Diver. But there is so much more to see below that 60 foot mark. There is Marine Life that can only be, or is most likely found only in deeper waters. Not to mention, that most of the Wrecks found around the world, lay in waters deeper then 60 feet.

Rescue Diver Course
The next major step in becoming a better Scuba Diver, after the Advanced Open Water Diver course, is the Rescue Diver Course. You will learn many new skills which are extremely useful, and at the same time, skills that you hope that you will never need to use. You will refine your accident and prevention knowledge that you learned in your other courses. You will also take that knowledge further, and learn how to manage an emergency when and if one ever arises. Most diver that take this course say that its one of the hardest, yet most rewarding course that they have undertaken.

Night Diver Course
Many divers concider Night Diving as one of their favorite dive activities. Why? Well, some find it very relaxing and find an almost traquility in Night Diving. Others enjoy it for the Marine Life, being that more marine life becomes active after dark. And of course, some even Dive at Night for the pure thrill of it. But whatever your reasons, Night Diving is exciting, fun and enjoyable, and can turn a familiar dive site, into a whole new adventure.
