| Where and for how long is my certification good for? |
| Your certification is good at any dive facility anywhere in the world no matter what training agency they use. Once you become a scuba diver you're one for life. Your certification never expires. Although after a long period away from diving it is wise to take the Inactive Diver Program to refresh your skills. |

| We are a family owned and operated business. We are your neighbors. We have resided in Lexington for the past 35 years. We are looking forward to serving you. We have teamed up with some of the best equipment manufactures in order to provide you the widest selection at the best price. |
| Do I need to know how to swim? |
| Yes, but you don't need to be an Olympic swimmer, you do need to display that you are comfortable in water. The scuba certification process includes a swim test that you must pass. If you can't swim, sign up for swim lessons then pursue your scuba certification. |
| What certification agency should I choose? My friend says one is better than the others. |
| The best way to learn to dive and get certified is trough a reputable program at your local dive shop. Dive shops offer a variety of certification agencies. Certification agencies use the same standards set by the World Recreational Scuba Training Council. Therefore, one is no better than the other. Go with the dive center that you feel most comfortable with. As for friends or family suggesting that one certification agency is better than the other. This is referred to in the scuba industry as indoctrination. The certification agency wants you to return therefore, of course they want to express that they are far superior than all others. Truth be told it is the dive center and instructor that makes the training worth while. |
