We also conduct training dives mid week so you could start a two weekend class on a Sunday and then dive Monday and Tuesday.

Our most popular class but condensed into just 2 full days! For those that can’t take a Friday off or only have two days available, this class is for you. It is conducted entirely here in Miami Beach which allows us to do the pool sessions in the morning and the dives immediately after in the afternoon. The first two open water dives may be from a boat or a lake. The second day of dives will be from a boat (weather permitting of course)
Please note this is an accelerated class and is designed for those that are very comfortable in the water or who have previous diving experience.

You pick any day to start the academic and pool work and then two days of open water diving. The pool session will be private but there may or may not be other students with you on the open water dives.

Start today, or tomorrow if you like. This class is one on one for the whole three days and we will make a schedule that will fit your needs. If you prefer, we can come to your home for the academic and pool session if your pool is at least 6′ deep and live in the Miami Beach area.
