Scuba Instruction

 
Skin and SCUBA diving is an exciting and different sport. The splendid mobility of SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus), with the ability to spend a moderate period of time underwater, has made it possible for millions to enjoy the relatively unexplored regions of the world. The sub-surface world is fast moving and fascinating. It is a world containing a myriad of colors, where every shade of the rainbow is in evidence.

To join this underwater world one needs special training in order to dive safely and without apprehensions. A diver should be completely relaxed in the underwater environment. This non-competitive sport is deceptively simple. These courses offer step-by-step instructions through the variable knowledge a diver should possess. We will prepare you thoroughly for any type of diving you care to do.

We have almost a hundred years of diving experience. We will not only teach you the right way of diving, but let you have fun learning the safe way to dive.
