Why take Scuba Class (#scubaclass) with Argonaut Diving?
What makes the difference?
- We guarantee a two to one ratio of students to staff. Unless you are taking private lessons, you are not likely to find that at any other dive class!
- We set up a 10 by 10 tent with heaters (as weather dictates), so we have shelter for you between the dives.
- Our Beach Masters serve hot soup and snacks between dives.
- Our staff is one of the most experienced. We have certified over 600 beginning students in the last ten years! issued close to 1900 overall PADI certifications, including training Divemasters and Assistant Instructors.
- With that experienced staff and low ratio's means we can give you the individual attention you need, should you fall behind. We go at your pace.
- We are a Scuba School, not a dive shop. Our priority is your scuba education, not selling you gear.
- We have freaking fun!
Remember that scene in the movie Peter Pan? Where Tinker Bell just finished sprinkling pixie dust on the boys and they are floating above the bed, not going up, nor down? That is neutral buoyancy! And it is one of the most important skill to master when you are a scuba diver.
Good nuetral bouyancy contributes hugely to better air mangement, which in turn means longer and more enjoyable dives.

1. Using your tank valve to dry off your regulator cap
I also mentioned this one inTop 5 Bad Habits for Divers, but I mention it here as well because it’s not only bad for your gear, but also annoying for everyone around you.
2. Spreading your kit out over the entire dive deck
My friend and I are on a boat dive in British Columbia. On the the first dive of the day, we are both diving 100 cubic feet (cf) tanks. Mine is a high pressure steel rated at 3500 psi. My buddies is a low pressure steel tank rated at 2400 psi, both 100cf. At the end of the first dive, we both have 500 psi left. Who has more air? Or are they equal? Think about it. Answer next week. Correct answer is the low pressure steel has more air.
