PADI Open Water Course

Discover what SCUBA is all about.

As an occasional diver I highly recommend the PADI refresher course and the hands on, in-pool refreshers offered at Scuba Marco. John is an excellent teacher helping me to update my knowledge, skills and confidence. That enabled me to truly enjoy my recent dive trip in the Caribbean, sans anxiety or worry. I highly recommend Scuba Marco and encourage occasional divers to stay safe by utilizing refresher courses.

Just did my Open Water certification here. I did a private 3-day session with Craig. We did a day in the pool, a day in the bay, and then a day out in Ft. Lauderdale where we hit a wreck and a reef. Craig was an excellent instructor and made sure I learned how to do things the right way. I never felt unsafe. John joined for the third day and he was great to dive with as well. Everyone at Scuba Marco was super nice and easy to work with. I'm hoping to go back to join in on one of their dive trips this winter.

Thank you, Jeff, John, and Jessi!!!
The kids and I had a truly amazing time with you last week. My Daughter confessed to me that she now LOVES scuba and can't wait to be certified. My son and I also had a great time diving with you, our first time in the Gulf was lots of fun and laughs! I would recommend your outfit to anyone, any time!

A few weeks ago I got the bright idea to conquer my fear of sharks and go get Scuba Certified so I could go swim with them in the Keys. So I walked into Scuba Marco and was instantly welcomed into the Scuba Marco family.

Since that first day, I have earned my PADI Open Water, Enriched Air Diver and Advanced Open Water certifications.

John was my instructor, and right away I knew that I was in good hands. Not only has he guided and taught me the required skills and knowledge to be a certified SCUBA diver, he constantly teaches me best practices in being a thoughtful and contributing member of the diving community.

I want to give a special shout out to Jessi and Jeff for welcoming me into their SCUBA family and making the start of this adventure so much fun!

What an incredible experience with Scuba Marco! The entire team is top-notch, but a special shoutout goes to Jessi, John and Craig. Their professionalism, patience and expert instruction made the entire training process safe, thorough, and incredibly fun. The conditions were perfect and their knowledge of the local sites is unmatched. We saw so much amazing marine life, including some absolutely massive Goliath grouper and tons of other cool fish! I couldn't have asked for a better dive operator.
