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.
