Experts in Holistic Diving
We take a very organic and holistic approach to scuba training that impacts mind, body, spirit.
Neptune Warrior offers Open Water Certification training with a unique approach tailored to individual needs, fostering confidence and mastery in a supportive and personalized environment. Unlike traditional group courses, Neptune Warrior provides private, one-on-one, or small group instruction, ensuring that each student progresses at their own pace. This method allows for a deeper focus on skill development and comfort in the water.
Our training emphasizes a holistic, organic methodology where students are immersed in real-world scenarios rather than just textbook exercises. Neptune Warrior instructors dedicate more time in the pool and open water than standard courses, ensuring students gain practical experience and develop strong foundational skills. Students learn on their own equipment (excluding tanks, weights, and wetsuits), fostering familiarity and confidence with their gear, which is not commonly offered in other programs.
Additionally, Neptune Warrior's instructors bring a wealth of experience in adaptive diving and veteran-focused instruction, creating a compassionate and inclusive learning environment. This unique approach ensures that every diver, regardless of background or ability, feels empowered and prepared for underwater exploration.

Advanced Open Water
Neptune Warrior’s Advanced Open Water Certification program offers a comprehensive, experience-driven approach designed to truly elevate a diver’s skills and confidence. Unlike standard courses, Neptune Warrior includes dedicated pool work both before and after open water sessions to ensure mastery and competence in advanced skills. This focus on preparation and refinement sets divers up for success and builds a strong foundation for advanced diving techniques.
The program covers essential topics such as underwater navigation, search and recovery, night and limited visibility diving, and deep diving procedures. Unlike many standard advanced courses, which consist of only five dives over a single weekend, Neptune Warrior’s program includes 6-8 dives, offering more time in the water to solidify skills. Additionally, the course culminates in a capstone dive—a unique feature that allows students to apply their training in a challenging yet supportive real-world scenario.
Neptune Warrior’s Advanced Open Water course isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s a holistic, in-depth program designed to take divers to the next level. With more dives, additional pool sessions, and enhanced academic instruction, participants graduate as truly advanced divers, confident and ready for new underwater adventures.
Rescue Scuba Diver
Our Rescue and Advanced Rescue Diver Certification is an intensive, advanced-level course that goes beyond the standard requirements of any training organization. This program is designed for divers who are ready to take on the challenge of becoming exceptional underwater problem-solvers and leaders. With a curriculum that exceeds industry standards, Neptune Warrior ensures that graduates are not only competent but confident in managing emergency situations.
The program includes rigorous pool work and open water scenarios that replicate real-world challenges. Students practice advanced techniques in diver assists, rescues, and emergency management, with a focus on both individual skills and team coordination. Training scenarios include panicked divers, unresponsive divers, search patterns, surface rescues, and even managing group dynamics during high-stress situations.
Unlike typical rescue courses, Neptune Warrior’s program emphasizes mastery through repetition and realism. Participants complete additional dives and spend more time in the pool to develop muscle memory and situational awareness. The course also includes extensive academics and a capstone rescue scenario, where divers apply all their skills in a controlled but challenging environment.
This is not a quick weekend course—it’s an intense program designed to push divers to their limits and prepare them for real-life emergencies. With Neptune Warrior’s commitment to excellence, participants graduate as true rescue divers, ready to respond with confidence and precision in any situation.
