Splashing into the water for the first or the hundredth time, divers at Ocean Safari Scuba can always find something to look forward to. Beginners learn on land before jumping into the giant outdoor pool at the Norman S. Johnson Aquatic Center, getting acquainted with the extraordinary feeling of being able to breathe underwater. Those seeking certification will undergo a series of pool and open-water dives in the nearby Pacific Ocean, ranging from basic scuba certifications to leadership trainings and specialty diving. Ocean Safari Scuba also hosts dives throughout the year, traveling to both nearby and faraway exotic locales to explore underwater worlds, their ecosystems, and different cultures.
