A live-aboard on Truth Aquatics is the perfect opportunity to get in your Advanced Certification....or just dive your booty off.

Guided Tours
Highly recommended for Divers with no prior cold water experience. We live to dive and we promise to keep up with even the most hardcore recreational divers, underwater scientists, and enthusiastic photographers. We'll point things out that you may not have noticed. We'll hold your gear...your extra weights...your camera...hell, we'll even hold your hand if you get creeped out by a Sea Hare.

Advanced Open Water Training
5 Adventure dives get you a PADI Advanced Open Water Certification. This is a great introduction into the Specialty Classes and even more than that, a great excuse to safely expand your dive smarts under the guidance of an instructor. We'll put together your underwater syllabus and handle all the details: Deep, Night, Navigation, Search and Recovery, U/W Naturalist, U/W Photography, and more...

Open Water Check Out (Referral) Dives
Once you've done your academic and pool work at another location, bring your logbook onboard and complete your certification with a SCUBA Scotty instructor.
