            Boat Diver

            $100.00

            Much of the world’s best scuba diving is accessible only by boat. Whether you’ve never made a boat dive or you’ve logged dozens, the Boat Diver Specialty course will benefit you because boats in various parts of the world do things differently. Scuba diving from a boat is fun and relatively easy because you usually descend directly onto your dive site.

            If you’re a (Junior) Open Water Diver who is at least 10 years old, you can enroll in the Boat Diver course.

            Course materials required. Boat charter extra.

            Product Description

            What will you learn?

            The Boat Diver course will expand your knowledge about boats from small inflatables to large liveaboards. You’ll gain experience scuba diving by completing two dives from a boat in your local area and learn:

            • Boat terminology.
            • Boat diving procedures and etiquette, including how to enter and exit, and where to stow your gear.
            • Boating safety, including how to locate safety equipment.

            Get credit! The first dive of this Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit.

            How can you start learning now?

            You can start by reading the Boat Diver Manual and watching the Boat Diving video in preparation for meeting with your instructor to schedule the boat dives. Stop by our dive shop to enroll in the course and get your Boat Diver Crew-Pak and start learning.

            What scuba gear will you use?

            Beyond using basic scuba equipment, you’ll want to have a surface signaling device, such as an inflatable signal tube. Having a complete spare parts kit is also a good idea. Your Instructor and our friendly and knowledgeable staff may suggest additional equipment depending on what type of boat and where your boat diving adventures take you.

            • Sidemount Diver

              $299.00 – $499.00

              Having scuba tanks on your back isn’t a requirement for exploring the underwater world. Many scuba divers have discovered the joy of mounting cylinders on their sides. Sidemount diving gives you flexibility and streamlining options. Plus, you don’t have to walk with heavy cylinders on your back – just enter the water, clip them on and go. Sound interesting? Sign up for the Sidemount Diver Specialty course.

              If you’re an Open Water Diver who is at least 15 years old, you can enroll in a Sidemount Diver course.


              The TDI Sidemount Diver Course is the ideal specialty for any diver wishing to use this increasingly popular equipment configuration; either as a stand-alone course OR in conjunction with one of TDI’s other open circuit technical specialties such as Decompression Procedures, Extended Range, Trimix, Advanced Trimix, and Advanced Wreck. If this course is combined, the requirements for BOTH courses must be met. The TDI Sidemount Diver course teaches students how to utilize side-mounted primary cylinders as an alternative to the traditional back-mounted method.


              Extra Costs
              Sidemount Manual: $69.99
              TDI Sidemount Manual: $69.99 
              Sidemount System Rental (BCD, regulators, 2 Nitrox tanks): $300 

            • Ice Diver

              $100.00 – $399.00

              If extreme, unusual and challenging scuba diving scenarios appeal to you, try diving under the ice. Ice diving is one of the most adventurous scuba specialties because you confront conditions and see beauty few others ever experience. Plus, you might get a chance to play with your exhaled bubbles on the bottom of the ice. Flash your Ice Diver certification card to get instant respect, and usually a lot of questions from other divers about what it’s like under the ice.

              You need to be an Advanced Open Water Diver who is at least 18 years old to enroll in the Ice Diver course. Six divers minimum required for safety reasons.

              $150.00

              The Full Face Mask course prepares you to dive with a full face mask. The course covers basic safety, technical and practical knowledge necessary to be a competent full face mask diver and feel comfortable using your system. You will participate in an academic session to learn the features of full face masks, gain familiarity with the system in the pool, and finish by demonstrating skills in the open water to gain your full face mask certification specialty card.

              If you’re a (Junior) Open Water Diver who is at least 12 years old, you can enroll in the Full Face Mask specialty course.

              Course materials not included.

            • Underwater Naturalist

              $150.00

              Take the Underwater Naturalist Specialty course and you’ll see new things, even on the most familiar scuba diving sites. Why? Because when you know more about symbioses, underwater ecology, and aquatic plant and animal habitats, you notice behaviors and see creatures you may have previously missed. Learn more about the local ecosystem and take a closer look on your next scuba diving adventure.

              (Junior) Open Water Divers who are at least 10 years old are eligible to take the Underwater Naturalist Specialty course.
