Aquatic Adventures offers virtual scuba classes for people who live remote or prefer to learn in the comfort of their home. Virtual scuba classes can be taken entirely at home, or we can complete the academic portion of a diving class via Zoom.
Aquatic Adventures developed classes like our Computer Diving Specialist, Advanced Dive Theory and Equipment Specialist classes to increase the convenience of taking a scuba specialist class from home when distance from our facility or other factors make it difficult or even impossible for our students to take a class in person. These classes are also a great way for you to stay active in scuba during COVID-19 "Stay at Home" orders.
