Find your way

Know what you’re seeing
From $250 per person, plus tax · no eLearning
For Open Water divers who want to put a name to the fish they see.
You learn the fish families you see on every Caribbean reef, and the common species in each, by body shape, markings and behavior. Then you use it on two dives from shore, with your instructor pointing out fish as you go. It’s a relaxed specialty, and every dive after it gets more interesting.
Experienced divers
From $400 per person, plus tax · no eLearning
For experienced divers who want to plan and make dives without depending on a buddy.
You learn to plan self-sufficient dives, manage your own gas supply, carry and use a redundant air source, and handle problems on your own. You practice the skills and procedures with your instructor over three dives.
It’s a skill set for experienced divers. It doesn’t replace the buddy system for everyday diving.
Safety skill
From $250 per person, plus tax · no eLearning
For Open Water divers who want boats and their team to know where they are.
You learn how DSMBs and reels work, how to send one up from depth while staying in control of your buoyancy, and how to use it on your safety stop and ascent, so people at the surface can see where you are before you come up. Two dives from shore. It’s a short specialty and one of the most useful safety skills you can add.
