Classes
Helping you explore our world—one breath at a time.
Learning in the water should feel exciting, not intimidating. At Dive Magic, we keep classes small and student-centered so you get real coaching, plenty of practice, and an experience you’ll actually enjoy.
We teach PADI programs, and with our on-site pool, we can train all year—whether you’re taking your very first breath underwater or working toward bigger goals.
Our team brings over 80 years of combined teaching experience, and we love meeting you where you are: curious, nervous, motivated, playful, ambitious—sometimes all at once.
Scuba & snorkeling training, built around you
We offer a comprehensive range of classes to suit your needs, from beginner experiences all the way to the path of an aspiring PADI Instructor.
If you’re not sure what to take next, that’s normal—and it’s one of the best reasons to talk with us. We’ll help you choose the right starting point and the right pace. We also offer private courses if you’d rather learn one-on-one (or with your own small group).
Because schedules matter, we offer a variety of class schedules designed to meet most schedules. The best way to find the next class that fits your calendar is to check our current schedule or contact us directly.
Discover Scuba: your first plunge
If you’re brand-new to scuba, “try it first” is a smart instinct. A Discover Scuba-style experience is designed to introduce you to what it feels like to breathe underwater and start building comfort and basic skills in a supportive environment.
If you’re wondering whether scuba is for you, this is often the most fun and least intimidating way to find out.
PADI certifications & continuing education
Already hooked? We love that.
PADI training is built to help you progress step by step—from foundational skills to more advanced training. If you’re certified and want to keep learning, continuing education is where diving gets even more interesting: you sharpen skills, build confidence, and explore new ways to dive.
Not sure what comes after your current certification? Tell us what kind of diving you want to do, and we’ll point you toward a course path that fits your goals.
PADI Mermaid Programs
Delving into the realm of mermaid diving is like straddling the line between reality and fantasy. The enchanting tales of mermaids have captivated our imaginations for centuries, and the allure remains strong even today. From the young to the young at heart, the idea of living as a mermaid is a whimsical dream shared by many.
But with the PADI Mermaid Course, we can turn that dream into a tangible (or nearly tangible) experience.
Through specialized mermaid equipment and costumes, we blend the boundaries between make-believe and reality—offering a glimpse into the captivating world of mermaid culture and diving.
The PADI Mermaid Program consists of three distinct courses:
- Basic Mermaid
- Mermaid
- Advanced Mermaid
If you’re not sure which level is right for you (or for someone you’re signing up), reach out—we’ll help you choose the best fit.
We teach all year, and we offer a variety of class schedules. Because class dates and openings can change, the quickest way to get a clear answer is to:
- Check our current class schedule, or
- Contact us and tell us what you’re looking for (scuba, continuing education, mermaid programs, or private instruction), along with the time frame that works best for you.
We’ll help you line up the right class and the right next step.
