Learn to Dive. Dive to Understand.
"In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught."
— Baba Dioum
At Aquanauts Grenada, our mission is to spark a lasting connection to the ocean—through knowledge, experience, and awe. We believe that the more you understand the underwater world, the more deeply you'll care for it. That’s why education is at the heart of everything we do.
Our instructors bring a rare combination of patience, passion, and expertise to every course—creating an inclusive, supportive space where each student can thrive. People come from around the world to learn not just how to dive, but how to belong in the ocean.

We offer training through multiple internationally recognized agencies including SSI, PADI, SDI, TDI, and Diveheart.

OPEN WATER DIVER
Courses
The Open Water Diver certification is the first major step into the world of scuba—and it’s one of the most exciting adventures you’ll ever take. This globally recognized course gives you the knowledge and skills to explore the ocean safely, confidently, and independently (with a buddy, of course).

Confined Water Sessions
Get comfortable with the gear and master key skills like buoyancy, trim, and underwater communication in a calm, controlled pool environment. -
Open Water Dives
Take your new skills into the sea! You’ll complete four open water dives with your instructor, refining your techniques while exploring Grenada’s beautiful reefs, wrecks, and marine life.

ADVANCED OPEN WATER
+ Continuing Education
Take your diving further—go deeper, stay longer, move better.
What makes a diver advanced? It’s not just a certification card—it’s a combination of training, real-world experience, and confidence in the water. Whether you're looking to dive deeper, extend your bottom time, or improve your control and efficiency underwater, this is where your next chapter begins.
What does “Advanced” mean?
Different training agencies define it differently, but at Aquanauts, we focus on what really matters: skills, experience, and purposeful education.
Here are the core specialties we believe form the foundation of an advanced diver:
-
Enriched Air Nitrox
Dive safer and stay longer by learning how to plan and dive with oxygen-enriched air. -
Perfect Buoyancy
Master your trim, propulsion (yes, even backwards!), and control in the water column. -
Deep Diving
Learn how to plan and execute dives safely down to 40 m (130 ft), including managing emergency gas (bailouts) and surface marker buoys (SMBs).
With these three specialties under your belt, you'll have the confidence and training to dive most recreational sites worldwide.
Certifications by agency:
-
SSI & SDI: Earn your Advanced Diver rating once you’ve completed four specialty courses and logged 25 dives.
-
PADI: Their Advanced Open Water is a structured course that includes five adventure dives, each introducing a different specialty area.
Whether you're building a strong foundation or exploring your next underwater passion, we’ll guide you toward the right path based on how and where you love to dive.
