At Swim King Scuba we use the PADI educational system.
PADI is the worlds largest certifying agency, issue more certifications and have more facilities world-wide than any other dive certification agency. Their state of the art educational materials are the finest the SCUBA industry has to offer and we feel students who study properly will be well prepared and ready for whatever challenges they may meet while diving.

Our certification programs are designed to get you started right away because you can do a good portion of the learning on your own through home-study or E-Learning.

In general, most of the certifications we offer will involve some home study on behalf of the student, one or several review sessions with one of our instructors, a "skills session" in the swimming pool, and as many as four dives in the open water depending on the class being taken.

Each class will have different equipment requirements. Diving (like any other equipment intensive sport) will be much more enjoyable, and safer if you own your own diving equipment. Most of the items you will need can be rented but we highly recommend that all divers own at least the basic equipment you need to go diving.

We realize that in today's world "free" time is almost nonexistent so many of our classes can be taken privately and tailored to your schedule.

We at Swim King have been teaching Long Islanders to dive continuosly since 1972. Our two instructors have a combined 65 years of experience diving, and 54 years teachng people how to dive. Don't wait another second. If diving is something you've always wanted to do get started now by enrolling in the Open Water Diver program.

We hope you choose Swim King as your local diving facility so we can provide for ALL of your diving needs.
