We offer all the services a diver needs:
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.
Going Tropical?
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.
