Book a private course and it's just you, your instructor, and the ocean—no waiting, no sharing. It's like first class... but in a wetsuit. Our private course fee covers up to 4 people of your choosing—friends, family, or your favourite adventure buddies. Your very own underwater group chat, without the annoying notifications. You and your group will have the sole attention of your instructor and full calendar control (subject to availability). Private bookings also allow for greater scheduling flexibility — consecutive days, time constraints, location variations and more. Contact us with your specifics and we'll let you know what we can accommodate.
