Check out a video from one of our students!
One of my cavern students had a GoPro Hero on a head mount. I told him I had no problem with the camera as long as he turned it on and ignored it, which he did. Lighting in the overhead wasn’t great because of this but it’s still a nice video.

Jen & Rob Neto believe every student is unique and deserves to be treated so. Keeping this in mind every scuba diving course offered is customized to the students in that course. This has been incorporated into all of our courses, in the water and out, from spending almost an entire day customizing our students sidemount rigs during our Sidemount Diving course to using underwater videography for dive debriefs during many of our basic scuba 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, sidemount, and cave diving
instruction and mentoring 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.
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 diving 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!
