Why is Aquarius the best place to Learn to Dive? FAQ's

• Class Sizes: At Aquarius, we believe that ‘Every Safe Diving Standard’ should be met and exceeded. This is why we follow the PADI Safe Standards and Procedures for training. This is also why PADI states that there can be any number of students in the classroom setting, but a ratio of 10 students to 1 Instructor must not be exceeded for the in-pool training. Students can then be confident that they get the same level of training all over the world. At Aquarius Scuba our classes are full most of the year without exception because of the high standard and dedication to students that train with us. Other dive stores that promote ‘small classes’ often do so because they just don’t have the clients to fill their spaces. CLICK HERE FOR OUR TRAINING COURSES
  
  
  
• Lots of in-water training: Aquarius Scuba has always used the best pools in the GTA for training. This includes the famous 16ft deep Etobicoke Olympium Pool. Every PADI Training Standard is met so that the student receives the right amount of time to train in our pools for their course. Students also have the free option to join the Aquarius Scuba Club, held at the Etobicoke Olympium Pool every Monday night to refresh their skills before a trip or just as an excuse to get in the water. Our students and customers are welcome at any time. CLICK HERE FOR OUR PHOTO GALLERY

It’s the perfect ‘OPTION’ for you if you need to get home. If you would like to get away for the weekend, then we can give you the ‘OPTION’ of Tobermory or Brockville to complete your course.
