Depth Finders Scuba is a Punta Gorda, Florida dive center offering a broad range of scuba training, guided dives, and community events. The business provides NAUI courses—including Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver, and a NAUI Dive Master course—alongside specialty training such as Enriched Air (Nitrox) classroom and eLearning sessions. Depth Finders Scuba runs Open Water classes in day and weekend formats at locations like Lake Denton and Florida’s East Coast, plus guided two-tank dives at Boynton Beach and Gulf dives with Florida Gulf Coast Scuba.
For technical and rebreather divers, Depth Finders Scuba offers Intro to Technical Diving courses, CCR Crossover programs, and a CCR Cave Diver Crossover Course. Specific CCR training includes a CCR Crossover Course tailored to the Dive Rite O2ptima chest-mount unit, and multi-day cave crossover instruction focused on closed-circuit rebreather techniques and scenario-based training.
Training formats vary by course: brief classroom and eLearning sessions for Nitrox certification, two-day CCR crossovers, 2–3 day technical introductions, and three-day cave or rescue courses. The shop also organizes a Dive Club social event with presentations, trip planning, and member networking opportunities, and seasonal experiences such as Underwater Pictures with Santa.
All offerings emphasize hands-on dives, unit-specific skills, emergency protocols, and buoyancy management where applicable. Depth Finders Scuba operates from Punta Gorda, FL and coordinates dives across nearby springs, keys, coastlines, and Gulf locations. Interested divers can select entry-level certifications, advanced training, technical rebreather crossovers, guided reefs and wreck dives, or community events.
