We can replace your PADI card for you. Come in, bring
your name and your birthdate and we can look up your PADI
number, take your picture and replace your card. We will
even give you a temporary card so you can go diving while the
replacement is being processed, usually 4 to 6 weeks.

Our class prices include everything you need to be certified except your
personal gear (You will need to provide your own mask, fins, snorkel and
weights (~10% of your body weight). Once you become a student of ours you get
10% off these items). For pricing information contact
us directly. For up coming classes check the calendar.
We are a full service dive shop. We service all Aqualung,
Apex Scubapro,
Oceanic, and Sherwood equipment in house. Call us if you
have another brand of gear that needs to be serviced.
We offer visual inspections and hydrostatic testing of tanks.
We have about a one week turn around on all gear (except tanks), unless
otherwise informed by our repair techs when you call or drop off your gear.
Visual Inspections ("VIS") on tanks usually have a 2 to 3 day turn
around unless otherwise informed by our repair techs when you call or drop off
your tanks.
Hydrostatic Tests ("HYDRO") are picked up and dropped off on
Mondays and Thursday (go out Monday come back Thursday or go out Thursday come
back Monday) unless otherwise informed by our repair techs when you call or drop
off your tanks.
Regulators and BCD's
It is recommended by most manufactures of scuba equipment that you have your
gear serviced every year whether it has been used or not. This is because there are sensitive parts and seals in
regulators and BCD's that are under spring tensions. If these seals fail,
so will your gear. Remember this is life support equipment that you need
to breath!
Scubapro and Aqualung "Free Parts For Life" warrantees will only
stay in effect if you have your gear services annually. If you want to receive free parts bring your gear in every year.
If you feel your gear is not working correctly (strange leaks,
breaths hard) please bring it in and let us have a look at it. There is no charge for a diagnosis.
Scuba Tanks
It is required by law (The Department of Transportation) that EVERY tank have
a Hydrostatic Test every 5 years. For the safety of our employees and
customers we will not fill tanks that are out of 'Hydro'
Tanks must also have a Visual Inspection every year. For the safety of
our employees and customers we will not fill tanks that are out of 'VIS'
If you have a tank manufactured by LUXFER before June, 1988 or any tank
manufactured by USD (U S Divers) or
WK, we
will not service or fill these tanks. If you have a tank that is really old that does not fall into the above
category, give us a call and we'll tell you if we
can fill it.
If you have Scubapro or Aqualung equipment purchased from a
certified dealer, you should have warrantee cards (Scubapro and Uwatec) or a
warrantee/users manual (Aqualung and SeaQuest). Bring them to the shop to
receive your Free Parts For Life.

We will fill up to 40% oxygen. Your tank MUST be O2 cleaned because we
do not use pre-mixed blends. We actually blend the percentage you want on-site.
In other word, we are pumping pure oxygen into your cylinder. We must make sure
there is no oil residue in you scuba cylinder.
Since we mix on site we must have 24 hours to fill your NITROX tanks.

We do allow you to join your friend/relatives on their Open Water dives on the boat.
You will pay for the dive and any rental gear you may need. However,
we do not allow
friends/parents/relatives to join the students in the classroom or pool
sessions. We want our students to give 100%
of their attention to the instructor.

We use Plantation Central Park Pool for our dive classes and refresher
courses. Click here

We usually use the Scubatyme boat for most of our dive classes (for a map
click here).
There are however a few occasions where the Scubatyme is not able to accommodate
our needs so we will use the American Dream II instead (click
here
for a map).
