* Some specialty courses can be combined (for example, a diver may complete Peak Performance Buoyancy dives at the same time another diver is completing Underwater Digital Photography dives). The (2+) pricing applies in these cases.
Courses prices only (2+) require a minimum of 2 students on that particular day for the class to be taught. If multiple classes are being taught on a particular day, those prices apply.

All courses will be put on our calendar and opened up to other divers. If you wish to complete a private course with us, we can do that for a $100/day extra fee.
Chipola Divers reserves the right to change course fees without notice.
