Many divers have found that skin diving (free from Scuba apparatus, BC,
and extra weights) provides a different incomparable underwater
experience. Divers rely more on personal abilities and compete with
themselves to become a better diver. Skin Divers enjoy hunting,
collecting, video and photography, while feeling closer to the ocean's
inhabitance. If this is your goal, then this is the beginning course
for you!

- 1 class/ pool session
- 1 day Ocean training
What do I need to start?
- Mask, fins, snorkel, booties (gloves are required
for those attending our local dives.)
