ACESDiving is structured to meet the needs of your diver. We teach the fundamentals of diving from that very first dive all the way through competitive team. Divers will progress through a checklist of skills and learn new dives. We offer age and ability appropriate length of classes-- which start at 30 minutes and last up to 2 hours. All divers are able to attend more classes per week without double or triple the cost to you, and you can adjust dive time commitment each session/month to fit the needs of your family schedule.
Listed below are the types of programming ACES offers. Once you have decided which program fits your needs, complete the “Getting Started” section on the home page. Class times, prices, and locations are all available, and please contact me if you have any further questions.
