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.

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!
