Dive Right In Scuba teaches the most thorough open water course, providing you with the most flexible schedule to give you the best dive experience in the area. We are also the only ones doing your training in a drysuit, which keeps you warmer and in the water longer. This all equates to more dive time, and a more enjoyable experience!

Wouldn't you feel safer knowing that our Dive Instructors and Instructor Trainers teach people how to go back thousands of feet in caves, hundreds of feet down on wrecks, and do training for Police, Fire, and Lifeguard Dive Teams? Ours do! It is these Instructors who bring their knowledge and love of diving into your class. We have trained over 1000 new students just like you. If your passion doesn't stop there, we teach a LOAD of classes and can even make you a Dive Instructor!

Are you ready to start your adventure?

Choose online or classroom academics - The majority of our students do the online course from the comfort of their homes. Get the online code, study at home, then come in for one night of online review. We go over the tests that you completed online, tour the shop, and talk about your upcoming dive adventure! Most people finish the online course in a few hours, it’s comprehensive and fun! For those not comfortable with online study, we do offer a classroom session. You still learn from the books at home and self-study, then come in for one night to complete a review of what you learned and go over your knowledge reviews you have already filled out. The tour and the adventure planning still applies.

Complete academic and pool sessions. Ask questions, enjoy the learning.

Pool Time! Oh yeah, this is where the bubble blowing starts with two nights of pool skills. Time to do what you have read and play in the pool for about three hours each night. You will learn gear assembly and other water skills from your dive instructor.
