Courses and diving

The open water class runs as a two-day experience, usually across a Saturday and Sunday, with training happening in the onsite pool and classroom. Beyond recreational courses, the center also offers PADI TecRec for divers ready to go further. The main dive park at Beaver Lake sits just five minutes away, where you can expect freshwater fish among the marine life.

Everything here is geared toward keeping you close to the water. There's an onsite pool, a retail shop, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, food and drinks, and parking. Lodging comes courtesy of an RV park and motel rooms, so students and visiting divers can stay right where the training happens.
