All About Scuba’s instructors fill noggins with the know-how—and muscles with the memory—required to explore the briny deep. Introductory Try Scuba sessions outfit fledgling divers with all the accouterments and instructions they need for their maiden voyages. Over the course of 30 to 45 minutes, students learn how to wield scuba tanks, masks, and fins while kicking around a swimming pool or flopping around on the concrete deck.

Open-water certification courses prepare divers for true oceanic explorations with five classroom sessions and six open-water dives in the ocean. Instructors remain on hand during seafaring explorations, offering guidance and revealing the proper combination for breaking into Davy Jones’s locker to steal Davy Jones’s algebra homework. At the end of the course, students can take home their snorkel and mask as well as their certification card, diver diploma and patch, and an instructional DVD.
