So you’ve fallen in love with the underwater world—why stop at the basics? Specialty courses are the perfect way to build confidence, sharpen your skills and dive deeper (sometimes literally) into the things that really spark your curiosity.

At Pleasure Divers, we offer a handful of epic SSI specialties that are perfect for taking your scuba journey to the next level. Whether you’re keen to explore a shipwreck, glide through the water like a pro, or master your navigation skills, we’ve got the course—and the chilled island vibe—to make it happen.

Why TRAIN WITH US?

Our courses are relaxed, personal and led by experienced instructors who are just as passionate about teaching as they are about diving. No big crowds, no pressure—just quality time in the water, learning at your pace.

All specialty courses include full gear hire, theory sessions and certification with SSI. Want to tick off a few at once? Ask us about combo deals or working toward your Advanced Adventurer or Specialty Diver rating!
