Learn to Dive! SCUBA Certifications from Exotic Aquatics
We offer the full range of PADI courses, from the introductory Bubblemaker course for young children, to Assistant Instructor training for dive professionals.
Just getting started with diving? We recommend diving into an Open Water Diver certification course. This certification will allow you to rent gear from any dive shop in the world, and give you the confidence to go diving anytime. Too much commitment? Check out the Try SCUBA Diving class, which is a single pool session to give you the experience of breathing underwater.
Got certified but don’t know what to do next? Look into getting your Advanced Open Water certification, which will teach you a variety of cool new skills.
Headed somewhere warmer on a much needed vacation? Interested in going SCUBA diving but not certified?
We offer the PADI Open Water Referral course especially for people wanting to learn diving but who aren’t interested in diving in our local waters.
Complete your academics and pool sessions with Exotic Aquatics and then we’ll refer you to an instructor at your tropical destination to finish out your certification in the warm water.
Dreaming of exploring the underwater environment of the Puget Sound (or somewhere more tropical) but don't know where to start, or if you'd even like SCUBA diving?
Are you a certified SCUBA diver who hasn’t dove in a few years? Well, here is your chance to review basic SCUBA skills, go over dive tables, and refresh your equipment knowledge.
Are you heading to a warmer climate and want to go diving? Instead of wasting time on your vacation getting certified you can do the necessary academics and pool sessions with us. Then you can head off to the warm water to finish your certification.
Advanced Open Water consists of 5 open water dives designed to increase your skill level and enjoyment of diving. A Navigation dive and a Deep dive are required diving. The most common choices are peak performance buoyancy, drysuit (additional fees for drysuit) Night diving, and underwater naturalist and of course boat diving when available.

We are limited by Covid restrictions for pool availability so dates and times will be updated as new opportunities arise. Social distancing also limits our class size for safety underwater.
Enjoy wintertime diving and visibility in warmth and comfort! Learn the necessary skills to safely use a drysuit. Upon completion of the Dry Suit Specialty class you can rent a drysuit from anywhere in the world.
Excellent buoyancy control is what defines skilled scuba divers. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover almost as if by thought.
The thought of dipping below the surface at night seems mysterious, yet so alluring.
Although you’ve been scuba diving at a site many times before, at night you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light.
An EFR course encompasses adult, child, and infant CPR skills, as well as providing AED and First Aid training. Many divers take EFR as a prerequisite of PADI Rescue Diver or in preparation for becoming a PADI Divemaster. The EFR program meets requirements for CPR and First Aid in the workplace (OSHA Guideline 29 CFR 1910.151).
The Divemaster course enables you to be a professional diver! After certification you'll be able to lead clients on guided dives, assist dive instructors with classes, and more!
Come make bubbles underwater! This class is specifically geared towards children with the emphasis being on having tons of fun, learning to be safe, and breathing off SCUBA equipment beneath the surface of the pool.
