Learn to Scuba Dive - Private Dive Courses
Your Instructor - Jacqueline Heimel
I began teaching scuba diving while studying in Key West, where the ocean became both my classroom and my passion. After moving to Spring Hill, I wanted to bring that same personal, hands-on approach to new divers here on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
I specialize in private instruction. These courses are designed for people who want more than just a certification card. My goal is to create confident, safe divers who understand buoyancy, control, and comfort underwater. Every session is tailored to your pace, combining pool dives and open water experiences that build real skill and excitement.
I earned my Instructor Certification in July 2023, marking the start of my journey as a professional dive educator. Outside of teaching, I’m deeply passionate about underwater photography, capturing the quiet beauty and detail of marine life that most people never get to see.
These aren’t dive shop classes, they’re unique, private experiences that leave you feeling capable, inspired, and excited for your next dive.
Each course includes:
Every course includes private, one-on-one instruction tailored to your individual pace and comfort level, all required scuba equipment (you are encouraged to have your own mask, fins, and dive boots), eLearning and course materials, confined-water and open-water training dives, pre-dive briefings and dive planning, safety and emergency skills training, and certification upon successful completion. Your course also includes one complimentary hour of additional instruction, if needed, to give you extra time to practice, build confidence, and feel fully comfortable in the water, because your safety and confidence come first. Flexible scheduling and personalized instructor support are included throughout your entire training experience and after certification.
Open Water Diver
Learn to dive with confidence through personalized, private training. This course combines pool sessions and open water dives designed to build comfort, skill, and true underwater awareness. Every lesson is paced to you, no crowds, no pressure. Just focused instruction that transforms beginners into capable, confident divers ready to explore the ocean safely. After completion of this course, you will be certified to dive up to 60 feet.
