Weekend 2: checkout day one at Lake Denton; checkout day two on the boat out of Boynton Beach with your instructor beside you.

  • Mask, fins, and snorkel (we'll help you fit them in the shop)
  • Surface marker buoy (SMB)
  • Towel, water, sunscreen, and a logbook; seasickness remedy if you need one for the boat day

Why train with Depth Finder's

Small groups, more water time. We cap class sizes so every diver gets real coaching and feedback, not a rushed checklist.

Skills mastered, not just attempted. We take the time to make sure you are comfortable, confident, and in control underwater before you certify.
