What Makes Our Training Different

Small Class Sizes

We cap each class at four students so you get personalized instruction and plenty of individual attention.

Train in a Drysuit

Puget Sound is amazing—but it’s chilly. You’ll learn to dive warm and dry from day one. No wetsuit struggles required.

Real-World Skills from the Start

We skip outdated “kneeling on the bottom” drills. You’ll master neutral buoyancy and trim right away—learning to dive like real divers do.
