Learn to Dive at Ginnie

Dive Training is available from Independent Instructors at Ginnie Springs. We will work as a referral service to help meet your training needs. All of the instructors are independent contractors, and the terms of each course are established directly between you and the instructor. Because none of the instructors are its employees, Ginnie Springs Outdoors is not responsible to you for the actions of any instructor. Specialty dive training such as Apprentice, Full Cave and Nitrox, just to name a few, can also be arranged directly with one of our Independent Instructors.

Please contact one of the instructors to arrange for dive training and specialty courses. Please plan as far ahead as possible. Last minute requests are difficult to accommodate.

Discover Scuba

Do you want to try scuba diving but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course? Then Discover Scuba is for you. While not a scuba diving certification course, Discover Scuba is a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world.

To sign up for the Discover Scuba diving experience, you must be at least 12 years old. No prior experience with scuba diving is necessary, but you need to be in reasonable physical health. To schedule a Discover Scuba experience, contact one of our independent instructors.
