COURSES AND INSTRUCTION
All our Instructors at the Ocean Quest Dive Center are highly qualified PADI & NAUI Instructors. We offer classes ranging from a one-day Resort course through Rescue Diver and Divemaster. All our classes are personalized to the individual student and scheduled at your convenience. Usually our classes are very small, with one or two students, but we can arrange classes for groups of any size. We have a pool on site, and an overnight storage locker for your wet gear.
Some of the courses offered by Ocean Quest Dive Center require class work. The books and forms are included in the prices and will be shipped to you. We have found that it is to your advantage to schedule any courses at least two weeks in advance.
