Our private open water diver
program is a cut above those offered by other SCUBA diving shops. We
specialize in private, personalized classes with you and your family &
friends. Due to the small size of the classes, your abilities and skills in SCUBA diving will be the main focus of your instructor.This personal attention will allow you to get much more out of the course than you would in a larger class setting. Together with the Boston Harbor Diving Company, a schedule is made with your convenience and time constraints in mind. Academic sessions
can be either brought to you, in your home or office; or take place on
the dive boat. We have 3 pool locations to
choose from: Revere, Dorchester, or Sudbury. We offer PADI (Professional Association of
Diving Instructors) classes, the largest diver training organization in
the world. Our diving instructors have hundreds of logged dives, and
years of teaching experience. Your safety and proficiency as a diver is our number one goal. |
