The Ocean Pro Difference
100% AWARE
We are partnered with Project AWARE, a global non-profit organization that is Protecting Our Ocean Planet - One Dive at a Time. They are focused on the critical issues of Sharks in Peril and Marine Debris, and we're supporting
them by donating $10 for every student we certify.
Done with a Trip
At Ocean Pro Divers, we're all about adventure. This is why we try to do so many trips throughout the year! Since altitude diving generally takes place a fair distance away from us, we usually run this course in conjuction with a trip! Our most popular dive/altitude course combo is at Pavillion Lake!
​
Low Ratios
We keep our student to instructional staff ratios low to ensure you can progress a pace that is comfortable for you. We keep our numbers to a max of four students to one instructor or less.
Prerequisites
You need to have completed your Open Water Diver certification to enroll in this program.
​
PADI courses are progressive and build on your previous dive experience. For all of our PADI courses, we require that you have recent experience to enroll.
