The Ocean Pro Difference
Custom Training
When we get into tech diving, courses become more of a mentorship than a black and white course. We don't believe in just meeting minimum standards, we want to build you into the best you can be. Because of this, we've added extra to our tech courses, and don't have a set schedule. The schedule and requirements will be discussed in our first classroom session, so we can build a path to success for your specific needs.
​
Rent to Own
At this level of diving, you generally want to own your own gear. However as we add new gear that you may never have used before it can be hard to know what you want to buy. That's why we have our Rent to Own program. Rent a piece of gear, and if you decide that's what you want to buy, your rental price goes towards the cost of the gear!
