Certified Divers

Whether you hold a PADI, BSAC, NAUI, SSI, SDI/TDI and CMAS or any other diving certification you are more than welcome to join us on our guided dives. Our dive center has a prime position at the east end of Bermuda and offers access to a variety of both wreck and reef dive sites, most of which are within a 40-minute boat journey.
For our certified divers, we offer a 2 tank dive every morning. The usual schedule for our morning dives is that the first dive is a wreck dive and the second dive is a reef dive so you can see the diversity within the Bermudian waters.
During the summer months, each afternoon we offer a 1 tank dive to a shallow reef which is an option for the inexperienced divers or for those looking to make the most out of their bottom times.
For certified divers, we can also offer a whole host of specialty courses to help progress you as a diver and work towards the Master Scuba Diver rating. Details of our specialty courses on offer can be found here.

Scuba Refresher
If you have had a break from diving for a few years or just want to feel more confident in the water then our scuba refresher program will help you to feel comfortable in the water again.
The scuba refresher program is run each afternoon and includes a small skills session in the shallow water as well as a re-acquaintance with the setup of the equipment. After completing the skills, you will join the boat for the afternoon dive to a shallow reef.
PADI recommends taking part in a scuba refresher program if you haven’t been diving for about 18 months, but the program is available to any certified divers looking to feel comfortable again or for inexperienced divers looking to check out the local conditions before diving.

Discover Scuba Diving
The PADI Discover Scuba Diving course gives non-certified divers the option to experience just what the underwater world has to offer without the commitment of a full course or to try diving before advancing to the Open Water Course. You will be under the direct supervision of a PADI Instructor allowing you to dive to 40 feet/ 12 meters.
Each afternoon you can join us in the bay for a shallow water session where we will teach you some basic principles of diving after which you will join the dive boat for its departure to a shallow reef site. Check in time is 12.45 pm and bookings must be made in advance.
Please be aware you must be medically fit to dive and be able to swim comfortably in the ocean.
Before booking your Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) experience, please ensure you do not require medical clearance from your doctor. The documents below will guide you in determining whether a medical sign-off is necessary. If you do need one, please email us to request the required form to take to your doctor.

“I wanted to leave a special mention for Instructor Will. He was so attententive and answered every question I had. I had not dived for a number of years and he always made me feel at ease and confident both on the boat and in the water. The equipment was in excellent condition and Will helped me to ensure I was correctly weighted for the dive and I had one of the easiest dives in terms of managing my buoyancy.”
“I would love to give a big thank you to the Dive Bermuda team! The entire team viz, Marlee, Will, Hanna, Dino, Cam, Lavi, Britney, and others, are very passionate about what they do. I completed my Open waters and advanced open waters certification through them and I am now a member, all my Saturdays are made very memorable by this team. Adding to this my cousins and my wife signed up for DSD during the labor day weekend. The entire team made them feel very special and I want to give a special shout to Hanna, she went above and beyond to make them feel very comfortable every second of their first dive. Because of this, my wife is looking forward to her Open waters certification now, and I in turn look forward to sharing this unique experience with her for the rest of our lives.
As always I look forward to my next dive with you and for the fresh fruits post the dives :)”
