Why Scuba Sciences' is different...

Image of divers practicing entriesWe teach an Exclusive Ocean Scuba Diving Courses (taught through Scuba Schools International).  We created the "Ocean Diving" Course and it's now used internationally!

Ocean Courses are offered at both stores M/W nights for 6 weeks, T/Th nights for 6 weeks, or Sat/Sun for 3 weeks at our Metro Store. 

Did you know you can earn college credit for taking Scuba Sciences' Courses?

All of our Ocean Instructors are water enthusiasts, love to scuba dive, and have many years of experience.  Our Instructors truly care about your safety and that you enjoy your scuba experiences at a personal level.  Most of our students develop a professional, personal relationship with our Instructors that last a lifetime.  Welcome to the Scuba Family!

During the course we start out with swimming, snorkeling and advanced snorkeling skills in the pool before we move on to scuba.  You have to walk before you can run!  Once these skills are proficient, we'll go underwater where the fun begins!  Instructors and Assistant Instructors are available for any divers that need additional practice and/or skills.

Scuba Sciences offers trips nearly every weekend.  We go where the best diving is -- the Oceans!  We have trips to California, San Carlos, and even Fiji!  We plan our trips to be pretty close to all inclusive.  All you need is a few bucks for snacks and we're there diving!  We'll take care of all the details and let you have a great time diving!
