Corporate Scuba Program
Dive Professionals offers scuba diving classes tailored specifically for companies. The Dive Professionals corporate program is multifaceted to provide something for everybody ranging from those who wish to stay dry to experienced divers. Our corporate program is multifaceted and is designed to motivate, refresh, reward and energize employees.

Team Building
Scuba Diving is both an individual accomplishment and a team experience. Diving in groups and with a dive 'buddy' is great for team building and establishing trust and camaraderie that last long after the dive. Scuba diving can bring people together from different departments and divisions as well as deepen personal relationships with partners, customers and suppliers. Scuba Diving can be a family event that includes everybody from spouses to children. Youngsters can learn to snorkel while older children can also become active divers.

Stress Relief
Scuba Diving is a wonderful sport that captures peoples' imaginations. It removes them from their current mindset and completely frees their thoughts and imagination. When floating weightless, a person's mind and body relax, movements slow down and deep breathing sooths the spirit. Concentrating on new experiences gives the mind a rest from everyday worries and permits a renewed focus after diving.

Customized Scuba Programs
Dive Professionals can customize a scuba diving program for your company that may include the following:
  • Business Adrenaline - Inspiration for the Corporate Adventurer
    Adventure Sports provide many lessons for the business world from planning, to collaboration, teamwork, dealing with risk and keeping perspective on success. Graham Dickson, PADI Master Instructor and Founder of Arctic Kingdom Marine Expeditions - the world's premiere arctic animal adventure company, will provide an enthralling and motivating discussion linking adventure sports and business success and will then introduce Dive Professionals and the company's scuba program.
  • Experience Scuba Evening
    All employees and, at the company's discretion, their family members may attend a single night in a local pool to experience scuba diving. No course is required prior to trying scuba and there is no commitment to continue with a full course.
  • Open Water Scuba Classes
    The Open Water scuba diving class provides the training necessary for people to dive anywhere around the world. After successfully completing the course, participants will receive an internationally recognized certification card from PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors).

    Multiple open water classes may be organized for individual departments or across divisions and may include employees of partners, suppliers, customers or employee family members.

    The standard open water class consists of three to five academic sessions where the theory is covered. The exact number of classes will depend upon the size of the group, the amount of reading done prior to class and the length of the class. There are also three to five pool sessions where students will learn all of the necessary diving skills. Following the completion of the academic and pool skills, students must complete two days of open water diving which we can organize as local dive weekend, a long weekend tropical getaway or can be completed independently anywhere around the world through a PADI dive centre.
  • Advanced Classes
    Most companies will already have some active divers who would be interested to dive more regularly and acquire new skills. Classes beyond the open water level can be offered to divers who are already certified and to new divers after they have completed the open water class. The advanced class offers a great experience to a wide range of areas within scuba and provides a fun way to try many different kinds of diving. Subsequent specialty classes such as photography, drysuit diving or many others may be taught as well as Rescue Diver and even Dive Master for employees who may wish to take on increasing responsibilities within the company scuba program.
  • Weekend Trips
    The Dive Professional program is focused on getting people diving. Regardless of whether employees are already certified and experienced divers or new to the sport and participating in the Open Water course, it is our highest priority to organize events that will attract as many people from the company as possible to enjoy the sport together. Water cooler talk will never be the same!
