Swimming beneath the waves, viewing beautiful coral and marine life, looking up and seeing the sunlight through the water—there are many reasons to sign up for a dive course. Such courses provide the education you need to enjoy many wondrous experiences swimming through the deep blue sea. PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) scuba diving courses require swimming skills and at least a degree of physical fitness to complete. No prior scuba diving experience is necessary, however.

Review what you will learn about during a dive course below:

• Basic Scuba Skills: Learn basic scuba skills during confined water dives. Confined water dives provide the basic training scuba enthusiasts need prior to open water dives in the ocean. This includes pre-dive safety checks, the PADI five-point descent (signal, orientation, regulator, time, and descend), mask clearing, regulator recovery, when and how to use emergency ascents, and more.
• Scuba Theory: Educate yourself on the principles of scuba diving when you enroll in a dive course. Learn about buoyancy in fresh versus salt water, air consumption rates, water depth and pressure, decompression, ear equalization, and more.
• Open Water Dive Skills: Complete your dive course by learning how to navigate open water. Open water diving provides the chance to utilize what you have learned and apply it to real-life dives. You will use all of your basic scuba gear when engaging in open water dives, including your mask, fins, tank, regulator, and buoyancy control device.
