Welcome to Chipola Divers!

Drawdown of Merritt’s Mill Pond nears

Brief synopsis – They are lowering the Mill Pond by four feet to expose the vegetation to the cold winter air and try to kill it off. The vegetation growth has gotten out of control over the past couple of years. They plan on keeping the dam down for 45 days and are recommending all boats be pulled out of the pond during this time.

Jen & Rob Neto believe every student is unique and deserves to be treated so. Keeping this in mind every course offered is customized to the students in that course. This has been incorporated into all of our courses from spending almost an entire day customizing our students sidemount rigs during our Sidemount course to using underwater videography for dive debriefs during many of our basic courses. Come be the class with us, not just a part of the class!

Chipola Divers is Rob Neto & Jen Neto. We offer recreational, technical, and cave scuba diving instruction and mentorship personalized for you. We offer scuba diving courses through IANTD, NACD, NSS-CDS, PADI, SDI, and TDI in small (no more than 6 students per class, 4 for open water diver) or private classes. We are independent scuba instructors offering quality dive instruction with the personal touch you won’t find in many places. And we not only teach the courses, we do the dives. We do more personal dives than instructional dives and will always keep it that way. Come learn how to scuba dive or advance your skills and knowledge by learning how to tech dive or cave dive.

* We operate out of a local shop where you can get any type of cylinder fill from air to trimix to oxygen and even argon and choose from hundreds of scuba diving gear.

Located in Marianna, Florida, we offer scuba diving instruction in the Florida panhandle, Lower Alabama, and Peacock Springs State Park.

Do you want to cave dive but don’t want to dive doubles? Would you rather go right into a sidemount configuration when you do your cave diving training? We can do that for you. While not all agencies or instructors can offer cave diving training in sidemount, Rob & Jen Neto can. Don’t waste your money on gear for manifolded doubles just to do your training. Go right into sidemount. Contact Rob & Jen to find out about all the benefits of sidemount diving. And save money!
