The Learn to Dive Resort Course is a brief and easy method of dive instruction that will allow novices to dive at a reef that very afternoon. Complete diving novices can, in a matter of an hour, be on a boat en route to their first open-water scuba experience.

After classroom time, you are ready to hit the beach (or the pool) for some water-skills practice. This training period allows scuba rookies to become acquainted with the equipment and comfortable in the water. A patient divemaster will guide your progress as you discover the incredible underwater freedom of scuba diving. After you are fully familiarized with your equipment, hop on board a dive boat to visit one of the pristine coral reefs off the coast of New Providence Island.

Your expert instructor will accompany you into the crystal-clear depths as your own personal dive-buddy.
