When can I expect a reply?

We may all be in the water, so if you don’t receive a reply immediately, please be patient! We usually answer emails within 3 or 4 hours.

How does booking work?

Once we receive your email, we’ll contact you to learn more about what kind of diving you want to do, your certifications, and your overall experience level. We welcome divers from absolute beginners to dive pros, and will make a customized plan based on what works best for you. Once a plan is in place, we’ll ask for an online deposit, which is 100% refundable (minus Paypal fees) if you change your mind at least 24 hours before beginning your course or diving. We will also send you the pre-dive paperwork to complete online. Once we have your deposit the booking is secured…pay the remainder in cash or credit card the day you come to dive.

What certifications do you offer?

Our instructors have credentials with several different scuba training agencies, including TDI, SDI, PADI, IANTD, GUE etc. However, we choose to teach and certify under the umbrella of Scuba Diving International (SDI). SDI certifications are accepted by dive shops worldwide, never expire, and allow for seamless progress through both recreational and technical dive training levels. If you’re not familiar with SDI or have questions, please ask us, we’re always happy to answer… or visit https://www.tdisdi.com to see for yourself.

Can I take an SDI Advanced, Rescue or specialty course if my earlier training was with PADI? Can I take a PADI course later if I start training with SDI?

Absolutely! Both training agencies teach essentially the same skills at each training level, and both agencies accept each other’s courses as prerequisites for future training. You will never be able to tell a SDI diver from a PADI diver on the boat. The main differences are only clear to instructors - we like that SDI offers certain training supports, and allows instructors the flexibility to adapt their courses to fit the specific needs of each student. We think it allows us to teach a better quality course and make a more confident, safer diver.
