PADI-certified pros teach scuba basics and advanced dive techniques through a mix of classwork and practice dives in a saltwater pool

Choose from Three Options

  • $218 for a two-day free-diving clinic ($399 value)
  • $ for a PADI open-water diver certification course with equipment ($ value)
  • $28 for for a Discover Scuba diving course ($50 value)

The open-water diver certification course consists of three phases: classroom and home study to learn scuba basics, confined water dives to exercise scuba basics, and open-water dives to review skills and explore. Enrollment includes the rental of BCD, regulator set, dive computer, tanks and any neoprene that may be needed. If they meet the skill requirements, students swim away as PADI-certified scuba divers.

Gigglin' Marlin Divers’ instructors guide students through the Discover Scuba Diving course from the safe depths of an indoor heated saltwater pool. A brief video or flip chart introduces divers to necessary techniques before they learn firsthand about buoyancy control, breathing underwater, and the funny faces that best benefit from wearing a swim mask. Alternatively, students can sign up for a free-diving course, comprising a two-day clinic with equipment included.

This was lotsa fun for me & my daughters (18 & 14)... Barbara & Tonya were very helpful with accepting my expired Groupon (was outta country for over a month & didn't get a chance to visit before the expiration date). Our instructors, Dean & Ashley, were really good & fun to learn with.. they had us into the 15' deep end of their bada$$ indoor heated pool within about an hour of teaching us some basic skills... highly recommend this as a fun family activity!

This experience could not have been better. I got to work with Instructor Rick and Apprentice David. They were both so amazing. I started out a bit anxious and Instructor Rick was super patient and encouraging. With his guidance, I had made it through all the skills before I even realized it! Definitely getting scuba certified next!
