Imagine being weightless, floating in tranquility, in a world of visual treasures most people can only imagine. Three quarters of the earth is covered in water, and what lies below provides something for every fantasy. Explore the ghostly remains of a mysterious shipwreck, commune with nature in the vast ecosystem of a coral reef, or just get a fish eye view of the world. Scuba diving is both fun and easy to learn. Nearly everyone can do it. No great swimming skills are required, you need only to be comfortable in the water, and willing to learn.

At Underwater Dive Center, Inc., we have a simple philosophy; we are not out to be the fastest, or the cheapest, we are out to be the best. Our Instructors average over ten years of teaching experience. Our courses are sanctioned by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), the largest diver training agency in the world & International Association of Nitrox and Technical Divers (IANTD). We are proud of being a PADI FIVE-STAR DIVE CENTER (IRRA), an Instructor Development Center (IDC), and for earning two awards for excellence in education, but that's not what sets us apart from the rest.

All PADI courses must meet the same standards, so what sets us apart? To begin with, we do not believe that all C-Cards are created equal. Much like there are poor, average, and excellent drivers on the road, all with drivers licenses, scuba divers fall into all these categories as well. While some "Assembly-Line" Dive Centers will issue your card as soon as you meet the minimum standards, our instructors work with you to allow you to be comfortable with the required skills. This does not make our course more difficult, only better. There is a difference between meeting a standard once, or having the required skill(s) come naturally. Repetition alone will not train you to be a safe and competent diver. We will help you understand diving, not merely "Act It Out". We are always very proud when our students return from a trip and tell us how comfortable they were. This is how we make diving safe and enjoyable.
