Scuba Quest is a dive center located in Cape Coral, Florida, offering a range of NAUI dive courses, guided fun dives, and pool access. The business provides Open Water Scuba Diver certification classes in both Cape Coral and Fort Myers, combining heated pool training with open water dives to teach essential skills, equipment use, and environmental awareness. Advanced-level training is available through two Advanced Scuba Diver offerings that include six open-water dives covering deep, night, and navigation skills, with at least one program noting a free two-tank boat dive. Enriched Air Nitrox courses are offered in Cape Coral and Fort Myers; the three-hour Nitrox program covers gas blends, safety protocols, and dive planning and includes nitrox fills or rentals as specified. Introductory Try Scuba sessions allow participants ages 10 and up to experience a one-hour pool-based dive with equipment provided, and the fee can be applied toward full Open Water certification. Scuba Quest also offers pool use with pay-for-air fills, Boynton Beach two-tank boat fun dives exploring 60–80 foot depths for certified divers, and a private refresher option that combines pool practice and classroom time over four to six hours with equipment rentals and a digital refresher card.
All offerings are presented with clear course lengths, site details, and equipment options. Scuba Quest’s published programs emphasize safety, training progression, and access to both local shore and boat dive opportunities in Southwest Florida. Instructors follow recognized standards; course prerequisites and equipment checks are explained during registration to ensure readiness and safety.
