Sign up now for Open Water classes!

Now is a great time to sign up for one of over a dozen classes.  It all starts with Open Water which is taught in the Niceville, FL area. See the calendar for available dates. Over a dozen PADI and PSAI specialty classes are available, including Spearfishing, Wreck, Cavern and Drysuit diving. Try NITROX (or Enriched Air) which allows for longer bottom times.  NITROX is often combined with Advanced Open Water and a discount applies when both courses are taken together. Emergency First Responder will certify or recertify your certification in CPR, First Aid, and AED. SnapperScuba provides a credit for any follow-on course or for each referral you provide for any course. We also provide a discount for scouts.

Intro to Cave Diver

If you have completed the Cavern Diver class and want to explore a bit further outside the daylight zone, this is your next class toward Full Cave Diver certification.  The PSAI Intro to Cave Diver course demands precise buoyancy control and being able to do so while performing many tasks.  The skills you will learn are essential to keeping you safe on every dive.  Do not dive in the overhead environment without the appropriate training.  You'll find this course very demanding and rewarding since you get to experience the sights that few get to see in our aquifer.

Sidemount Open Water Diver!

Come see what this new configuration is all about.  Learn about the comfort, control, and redundancy that sidemount diving has to offer.  Sidemount diving positions a tank on each side of the harness and allows for excellent trim control and affords the redundancy of two air supplies from separate first and second stages.

Tec classes!

Snapper Scuba offers DSAT Tec Rec and PSAI Advanced NITROX classes. Technical diving is not for most divers, but for some, the rewards are great to visit places most divers will never see. If you have thought about wanting to dive longer or dive deeper, this training will prepare you. There are two main approaches toward full certification with DSAT: Tec 40/45/50 meters or Tec 1 followed by Tec Deep. Both end up with the same result: multi-gas switches for accelerated decompression to depths of 165'. You can also choose the PSAI route of Advanced NITROX followed by Extended Range.  If you're not quite sure about Tec, try Discover Tec with backmount doubles or side-mount configuration, or the Tec 40 meter class which allows for limited deco (up to 10 minutes) and you can take that class with most OW BCs with a 30 cu ft or larger deco tank.
