Academic training covers diving principles, followed by confined water skill development in our heated pool. The final open water dives validate your abilities in real-world conditions. This internationally recognized certification enables independent diving worldwide.

Sugar Land Dive center is the best I was in a class with Jimmy and he was patient with me all the way through his technique of knowledge is really on point. All of the crew is very knowledgeable and they were one of the best spots to get certified.

Had a great experience with the dive shop. They were very accommodating. I tried calling OTA because they were closer to me in Katy, and never got a call back and they wanted to charge extra because I needed to split the 1st 2 days into separate weeks. Sugar Land was much more accommodating and worth the extra drive. Jimmy was our Dive Instructor, he was so patient and made us feel at ease under water. Excellent experience, highly recommend this dive shop!

I can't say enough wonderful things about this dive center. I've always dreamed of being a scuba diver and now I am! I'm not sure that I would have been so comfortable with this journey if it hadn't been for amazing scuba friends and this dive center. In addition to reassuring each of my concerns and questions they really listened to the content of my concerns. For instance, as I was preparing for a recent trip to cozumel, I explained that I was concerned about my buoyancy as the tank gets lighter. Chris and staff let me practice and even had a lighter weight tank ready for me to practice my comfort

Just got our open water license today and I highly recommend this dive center! Their price is very reasonable and the included rental gear is of high quality. They dont hard sell anything you dont need to you. We only needed to buy snorkel and mask and Chris recommended some with high quality (not your regular $30 high quality amazon snorkel. You can feel the diff when you actually use it). shes always very responsive to answer our questions and help us reschedule our classes with great flexibility
Jeff was our coach. He is smart, calm, humorous and patient. He taught us the skills
