The day begins with classroom instruction covering basic scuba theory. After the academic session, participants practice essential scuba skills during pool training in a controlled environment. Following pool training, the instructor leads two guided dives on local coral reefs. These reefs are home to many varieties of colorful fish and may include sightings of nurse sharks, reef sharks, eagle rays, turtles, goliath groupers, and barracudas. The reefs are free of dangerous animals to ensure a safe experience. All necessary scuba equipment is provided, including rental gear. Participants need to bring only a swimsuit and a towel. Swimming ability is required, and participants must be in good health. The instructor remains with the group throughout the entire 24-hour program to provide guidance and support. Local taxes are included. Participants must complete a medical questionnaire before joining and follow health restrictions. Flying or engaging in high-altitude activities is not allowed until the morning after the dive day.
Your morning starts with a classroom briefing where your PADI-certified instructor covers the fundamentals — breathing through a regulator, equalizing, and underwater hand signals. Then we gear you up and head to the pool to practice skills in shallow water at your own pace. After a lunch break, you board the dive boat and head to Key Largo's coral reef — the only living barrier reef in the continental US. You'll complete two guided reef dives with your instructor, exploring coral formations, tropical fish, and marine life. The program wraps up around 5 PM. On days when sea conditions prevent boats from going out, we dive at Jules' Undersea Lodge lagoon — a protected mangrove lagoon with a unique underwater habitat. You will need your own transportation between the dive shop, pool site, and marina — they are a few minutes apart. You cannot fly or travel to high altitude until at least 18 hours after diving — no flights until the following day. All participants must be able to swim and must complete a PADI medical questionnaire. If you answer "yes" to any question, a signed doctor's release is required.
