Specialty Courses

Open Water Diver training is designed to give you the basic knowledge and skills needed to explore the underwater environment. Specialty training takes you beyond those basic skills. It prepares you to dive in various situations and conditions while increasing your confidence, making you a more comfortable and safer diver. New skills such as navigation, peak performance buoyancy, deep diving, or night diving broaden your diving experience, increase your appreciation for the underwater world, and are a whole lot of fun! Under the guidance of a Marin Diving Center instructor, learn these skills with safety and confidence. Most Specialty Courses consist of a self-study text, a short exam, and two dives. Below is a list of specialties we offer.
