Try Scuba
Try Scuba is an introductory experience designed to let you breathe underwater and experience scuba in a safe, controlled setting. You'll receive basic instruction, learn how the equipment works, and perform simple skills before entering the water. No prior experience is required, and it's the easiest way to see if scuba diving is for you.

Still wondering?
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Message a dive pro . We usually reply the same day.
Do I need my own gear to start?
No. We rent everything you need from our Halcyon fleet. Most students buy their personal-fit pieces (mask, snorkel, boots, fins) before day one. Everything else can wait.
What happens if I miss a session?
Tell us as soon as you know. We run these programs on a rolling basis, so makeups are almost always possible. We will slot you into the next available session of the same type.
How long until I'm certified?
Most program students finish in a few weeks of calendar time. The pace is yours. We will set a schedule that fits your life.
What do I need before I start?
Fit to swim, No certification prerequisites
Where can I read the SSI standards?
The full agency standards for this course are published by SSI. You can review them before you register if you want the detailed breakdown.
