Learn to scuba dive in the silicon valley !!
Do you want
to experiment local
dives in Monterey ? It's the number one
spot in the US for Kelp diving. Or do you want to scuba dive while on
vacation in the caribbean but
don't want to spend the first four days in a classroom ?
We have a
solution for you !! We
are independent scuba instructors who
can teach you all levels of
recreational scuba diving from the openwater certification to
Divemaster. So unlike most scuba diving instructors, we are not
employed by
a scuba diving store so we won't pressure you into buying equipment. We
teach the YMCA
scuba program, the oldest scuba diving
agency in the
US. In the 45 years since its inception, YMCA SCUBA continues
to
provide the highest level of community-oriented education for divers
and instructors based on the principles of the YMCA.
Our goal is
to teach you in the
safest way. When teaching in the pool or in the ocean, we keep small
classes with no more than 6 students in
each class !! Compare that to other schools with classes where you will
be sometimes up to twenty students at
the same time in the pool or the ocean. Furthermore, with us, for 6
students in the
water, you will have not one but TWO instructors ! Try to find this
quality of service elsewhere. This small number of students in each
class and the very low
student/instructor ratio allow us to provide what we feel is the best
quality of
instruction.
Not sure you want to take a class to learn scuba diving ? We have a
program for you:
I tried scuba
This program
is to introduce you

fun of SCUBA diving under the supervision of a certified YMCA SCUBA
Instructor. This is done in 2 hours at a swimming pool and allow you to
experiment the equipment and the weightless sensation of scuba divers.
