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.

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.
They more easily observe aquatic life without disturbing their surroundings. You can achieve this, too.
The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course improves the buoyancy skills you learned as a new diver and elevates them to the next level.
Enjoy wintertime diving and visibility in warmth and comfort! Learn the necessary skills to use a drysuit. Upon completion of the Dry Suit Specialty class you can rent a drysuit from us anytime.
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. The scene changes as day creatures retire and nocturnal organisms emerge. If you’ve wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, sign up for the PADI Night Diver Specialty course.
The lure of the deep. There’s something exciting and mysterious about exploring deeper dive sites while scuba diving. Sometimes it’s a wreck that attracts you below 18 metres/60 feet, and on wall dives it may be a giant fan or sponge. Whatever it is, to scuba dive with confidence at depths down to 40 metres/130 feet, you should take the PADI Deep Diver Specialty course.
Take the PADI Underwater Naturalist Specialty course and you’ll see new things, even on the most familiar scuba diving sites. Why? Because when know more about symbioses, underwater ecology, and aquatic plant and animal habitats, you notice behaviors and see creatures you may have previously missed. Learn more about the local ecosystem and take a closer look on your next scuba diving adventure.
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!
