Scuba Quest, Sarasota

Imagine for a moment diving into the ocean, resurfacing with not only memories of the sub-aquatic environment, but a full reel of photographs, too. Underwater photography is just one of the many courses offered at Scuba Quest Dive Centers, a family-owned company that has shown students how to safely explore the seas for more than 25 years.

Scuba Quest Dive Centers began as a single shop, but has since spread to four locations across the state of Florida. At each, the company’s NAUI-certified instructors lead refresher courses, beginner classes, and comprehensive certification programs. Rather than climbing into fish tanks while pet-store clerks are on break, Scuba Quest's students can put their new skills to the test in unfamiliar waters during the company’s exotic diving excursions throughout Florida.
