We are nuts about scuba diving!
Welcome to Aqua-Nut Divers
We teach scuba courses through PADI (Professional Association of Dive Instructors) at 25 to 50% less than any local scuba diving shop.
We do this for fun, not profit.

Aqua-Nut Divers is an independent non-profit organization focused on teaching a wide variety of scuba diving classes without the overhead of a dive store. Aqua-Nut Divers is an authorized PADI teaching facility and receives direct support from them. All of our PADI scuba diving classes are offered at 25 to 50% less than any local dive shop. All the profits that we make from scuba courses go back into our V.E.T.S Project, a veterans scuba diving program that is detailed on the Vets page of this website. We do not sell scuba diving equipment, but our dive staff are highly versed in most brands and can guide you to the right dive store to purchase equipment. We are currently working through Ventura Dive and Sport in Ventura, California for our equipment needs. Ventura Dive and Sport carries a wide range of scuba equipment in a well stocked store and will not try to guide you to only one particular brand over another as so many scuba stores do. Visit the Ventura Dive and Sport website at Venturadive.com.
Divers can find the description and availability of dive and specialty courses offered by us through our PADI (Professional Association of Dive Instructors) trained staff on the Classes page. We offer classes from Open Water (basic) to Assistant Instructor as well as 30 different PADI specialty courses. We also offer D.A.N. (Divers Alert Network) courses and courses through the Handicap Scuba Association (HSA).
