Program Reviews:
Rena Stair, Winter Break 2018 Participant
The most rewarding part of the program was diving everyday with my group. We all built such a strong bond together and experienced a whole new world 60 ft down.

Winter Break 2020 Participant
I learned a lot about the diving community, culture, and lifestyle. At first, the diving was a little bit harder than expected--sea conditions were sometimes rough, which led some people to become seasick, and doing many dives per day can get tiring. I learned how to be resilient, to take care of my body, and to appreciate the experience even when it got hard.

Winter Break 2020 Participant
Start your scuba training early before it gets cold, and go to Dave and the Scuba Shop for everything.
