Certified Diver Pool Access
Jump in the water for a practice session unsupervised.
NOTE: Gear, including tanks & weights, is not included. It is available for rent, however, it must be picked up by the participant.
As we are transporting gear for classes the DOT weight limitations for transportation of compressed gas cylinders prevent our transporting tanks for Certified Diver Pool Access.

What to expect
during your
Certified Diver Pool Access
Prerequisites
- Valid SCUBA Certification from a recognized training agency.
- All dive gear. No dive gear is provided, including tanks or weights. See FAQ for details.
Pool Access
Book some time in the pool to practice buoyancy, work on trim, adjust weighting or just play with new gear.
- 1 Pool Session
- Keep in mind, you are diving AT YOUR OWN RISK. You will not be under the supervision of any staff while at the pool. Staff may be present, however, their time & focus is on the students they are working with. If you require staff attention, please book a Refresher Class so a staff member is available to you.
- Be mindful of classes, you were new once too.
- Don't swim under lap swimmers, stay in our area, your bubbles tickle their bellies.
- Please follow all staff instructions, while you are on your own, the staff is there for safety.
FAQ
- Do I have to buy all the gear?
- No. But then you will need to hold your breath a really long time. As a certified diver, it is assumed you have invested in gear, however, we know this may not be the case. If not, we have rental gear available you can use for the pool session.
- Keep in mind, telling us you need to rent "all the gear" will get you a BCD & regulator. If you made it this far without a mask & fins it is time to spend a few bucks on the personal gear.
- You will need to make arrangements to pick up/return the rental gear for the pool session.
- No tanks or weights are included. Be sure you get everything you need.
- Could class dates change?
- Of course. While rare, public class dates are subject to change. A minimum number of students is required for the class to be conducted & sometimes instructors get sick (yes, we are not invincible) or the pool facility needs unplanned maintenance. If a class is cancelled you will be notified & rescheduled into the next available public class.
- If you have certain deadlines or needs, please consider our Bespoke SCUBA Class to obtain a schedule built around your needs.
Reschedule/Cancellation Policy
Life happens, we get it & we want to find a way to get you diving.
- Your schedule changed
- Ours does too sometimes. We get it. You may reschedule to an alternate class anytime without an additional charge 14 days prior to the start of the class. Within 14 days, there is a $35 fee to reschedule.
- You need to cancel
- You changed your mind, doctor doesn't think it's a good idea, whatever. It's ok. You may cancel any course (in writing please) for a full refund 14 days prior to the start of the course (this is why we advise you do that questionnaire early). Please understand that space is limited in our courses, we cannot offer refunds for cancellations within 14 days of the original course start.
- Please note: codes issued from the training agencies cannot be refunded once you have begun the e-learning regardless of when you cancel. If you begin the e-learning any refund will be less the cost of the e-learning.
- Somebody got sick
- We get sick sometimes too. No problem. If you wake up with the plague we prefer you do not come to scuba class. A big part of the education is teaching you how to take the thing in our mouth and put it in your mouth if there is an emergency & we don't want the plague. We will work with you to move you to a future class at no charge. We do, however, reserve the right to assess a charge if we find this policy is being abused. Please don't do that.
- You ignore safety instructions
- Safety is our paramount concern. Your safety, other students' safety & our staff's safety. You are required to follow established safety requirements & follow the instructions of our staff. Violations of safety procedures may result in removal from class without a refund. Just don't do it.
- You ignored requirements
- Come on, really? Showing up for scuba class without a swim suit does not entitle you to a free reschedule. We honestly can't believe we have to type this but yes, it happened.
