Our Eagan training pool
Tropical training, even in a Minnesota January
Having our own 12-foot-deep heated pool lets us do what most shops can’t: start new classes almost every week of the year and give you more time in the water.
- Two full pool sessions, 3–4 hours each. Twice the in-water time some shops offer.
- Classes start almost every week at one of our two Twin Cities locations.
- Practice Pool Time Wednesdays for certified divers who want to stay sharp.
- Try it first with a PADI Discover Scuba session before you commit.
