The center runs beginner experiences and full professional-level training, including Open Water Dive Certification, Scuba Diver Certification, Open Water Referral, Rescue Diver Certification, and an Instructor Development Course (IDC).
Instruction and guided trips are delivered by certified instructors and professional guides who lead shore and boat dives, including morning 2-tank dives, sunset and night dives, and pool-based introductions like Try Scuba and Intro to Snorkeling at Limetree Pool.
