Interested in diving? Here’s how to get started.
Can anyone learn to scuba dive?
Almost! We’ve taught a wide range of underwater enthusiasts from 10 years old and up. So if you are interested in learning a safe, fun way to explore the world underwater and you’re in generally good health, then you meet two of the most important criteria. We are a 5-Star PADI affiliate—the Professional Association of Dive Instructors—which is the largest recreational diver training organization in the world. As such, we follow a well-established curriculum for teaching beginner through advanced diving skills, all in a comfortable, convenient and (because we’re in Marathon) fantastic environment!
How do I get certified?
We teach a variety of beginner and specialty courses. You can become a certified diver through a three-day course by completing class, pool work and four open water checkout dives.
What if I just want to try it?
No problem—we have a terrific one-day Resort Course so you can discover the excitement of scuba diving. Class and pool sessions are followed by two open water dives. This Discover Scuba experience includes instruction, scuba equipment, pool session, two open water dives and boat trip.
Where do classes take place?
When you sign up for dive instruction at Captain Hook’s, there are a couple of options for completing the coursework prior to your first dive. First, we offer on-site instruction in our training room. Alternatively, if you wish to complete your coursework before you arrive at Captain Hook’s, you can enroll in our eLearning course sanctioned by PADI. In this case, you’ll be able to complete the course on your time and at your pace.
How long does it take?
It depends on the course—from a one-day introduction to scuba diving to a multiple-day advanced course. Check out the list of courses on Dive Prices.
What equipment do I need?
For beginners, nothing! All equipment is included in the cost of your instruction. Of course, we do sell dive equipment for those who want to purchase their own.
How much does it cost?
Costs depend on the course and the number of students in a group. For details, please go to Dive Prices.
