August FAQs

Inquisitive minds want to know,

and we have the answers!

 

Are we teaching Swim Classes?

Yes!  Swim Lessons are in full swing and “Safety First” is our primary concern. For our non-swimmers, a parent or guardian is in the water with them to do the “touching” so that we can observe the necessary social distancing. It is actually pretty cool, because you learn how to do skills with your child and can work with them on your own, too!  Our Swim Teachers wear facemasks as they teach, students stay 6 feet apart from each other, and Classes are small. Plus, we sanitize everything before the next class to ensure your child’s safety!


Do we have Snorkel Classes and Equipment?

Yes, indeed!  We try to keep the Snorkel Classes limited to family groups and we do small Classes if there are more than your own family members in the group. These sessions are scheduled ala carte to fit your schedule needs. Bonus: They are FREE when you get your mask, snorkel, and fins from us! We have several packages that will save you money and qualify you for the free training, too!


Are there Scuba Classes right now?

Absolutely! We have two large classrooms and a big indoor pool right here, just for that purpose!  There is plenty of room to spread out and feel comfortable while on the surface.  As soon as we go below the surface of the 88 degree pool you can get as close to each other as you want!  The SSI online learning maximizes efficiency of your time and allows more learning time in the pool. Unlimited pool practice sessions enhance your experience. The six Open Water Dives are as much fun as the rest of the Training!


Are Specialty and Advanced Courses being conducted?

 

Certainly!  Since international travel is limited right now, this is the perfect time to notch your weight belt with some additional Courses and Training! Next up in August & September are:

Night & Low Visibility Diving on Monday, August 3

The new Master Diver Challenge Board still has room for more people. You just might be the winner of our own Calypso Master Diver challenge AND win a week for two on a luxury live-aboard Aggressor Fleet! Enroll in our Continuing Education Courses and Keep On Diving!


Do we Service Equipment?

Of course!  To be safe underwater your gear needs to be current on service. Free Parts for Life are a great benefit of getting your gear serviced annually for the regulator brands we sell, so don’t let that lapse! Your service tags will be punched with a date to remind you when it was done. No worries: Your gear will be sanitized after servicing and will be ready to go dive!


Do we have Rental Equipment available?

We sure do!  It has been serviced and sanitized and it is ready for you to take it out and go play underwater! You can even apply your rental fees to the purchase!

Is there any Dive Travel going on?

Yes!  Although International Travel is still “up in the air” (or NOT) at the moment for many destinations, we already had alternate dates available for our trip to Cayman Brac and will do the same for Bonaire, if necessary. In the event that things are not up-and-running when the trip time arrives, we will have you covered! You cannot keep us from the Sea or from dreaming about it until we are there!
