COURSES READY FOR YOU Courses form from a Pre-Registration List.... Call Today and sign up for yours!

Go beyond your Basic Openwater Certification with Aquatic World! It's time to advance your dive skills with a number of Continuation Education (Con-Ed) courses that can take you all the way to your PADI Professional Rating. 

If you don't see the course you're looking for on the schedule, NO Problem. It's there because other divers have already signed up. But, if that date doesn't work for you, call or stop by the Dive Center.

We form our Open Water Diver and Con-Ed courses as new students enroll by using a Pre-Registration List. As soon as One diver signs up that class is now forming. So, Don't wait. Call or stop by today and signup. It only takes One!
