COURSES READY FOR YOU Courses form from a Pre-Registration List.... Call Today and sign up for yours!

Go beyond your Basic Openwater Certification with Aquatic World! It's time to advance your dive skills with a number of Continuation Education (Con-Ed) courses that can take you all the way to your PADI Professional Rating. 

If you don't see the course you're looking for on the schedule, NO Problem. It's there because other divers have already signed up. But, if that date doesn't work for you, call or stop by the Dive Center.

We form our Open Water Diver and Con-Ed courses as new students enroll by using a Pre-Registration List. As soon as One diver signs up that class is now forming. So, Don't wait. Call or stop by today and signup. It only takes One!

For our Divers from the Binghamton New York Area........Excellent buoyancy control is what defines skilled scuba divers. You have seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover almost as if by thought. They more easily observe aquatic life without disturbing their surroundings. You can achieve this, too. The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course improves the buoyancy skills you learned as a new diver and elevates them to the next level. PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers or higher, who are at least 10 years old, are eligible to take the Peak Performance Buoyancy course......Required 7mm wetsuit or Drysuit, Hood and Gloves
