scuba Instruction

Thank you for your interest in pursuing your diving education with The Dive Locker. We understand the choices available to you, and your desire to obtain the very best training available for your dollar.

Educational Programs. The friendly staff at The Dive Locker is dedicated to providing the finest, most up-to-date, safest program available. The Dive Locker is a Diver Training Facility with Scuba Schools International. We offer programs from entry level (Learning to Scuba Dive) to Instructor level, as well as a large selection of specialty courses. Our highly trained instructors will enhance your learning experience by making you feel at ease and at home while you learn about the wonderous world beneath the waves. No matter what program or rating you're interested in obtaining, you can be assured that whatever questions or concerns you have will be addressed in an above average manner.

Our class sizes average 4-6 students per course and usually don't exceed 6 students per instructor in a pool environment, and 4 students to 1 Instructor in the open water. Our goal is to have you as comfortable as possible before the open water dive portion of the class. With some students that can mean as little as 2-3 sessions in the pool, with others it may take as many as 10-12 times before they are ready to enter the ocean.

Our Learn to Dive courses run all year and start on the first Monday of every month. In the busy Summer months, we'll hold weekend classes, weekday classes, and weeklong classes. We'll try to accommodate most busy schedules. Private lessons are always available.
Most specialties are taught 5-6 times per year, usually every other month. If you don't see a specialty course on the schedule, just ask, we may be able to schedule one just for you and your buddy.
We are always looking for good DiveCons (Divemasters) for the store, during the Summer months especially. We will try to hold a DiveCon course at least once per year.
