Try Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) has exploded in popularity, and for good reason. It's a fantastic way to enjoy the water while getting a great workout. SUP is enjoyable and accessible for the entire family, regardless of their experience level. A-1 Scuba is proud to carry high-quality, inflatable paddle board packages that come with everything you need to hit the water right away.

Classes and Certification

A-1 Scuba takes pride in delivering the best scuba diving lessons Denver has to offer. We understand that every individual learns at their own pace and possesses different comfort levels. That's why we offer a customized approach to diving instruction, tailoring the experience to meet your specific needs.

Our beginner scuba diving courses are designed to provide you with a solid foundation in the principles of scuba diving. Our comprehensive process consists of two distinct steps. Firstly, you'll embark on a journey of self-guided learning, utilizing our MydiveSSI app and classroom sessions in our nationally acclaimed facility to grasp essential skills like buoyancy control and buddy diving. The second stage involves putting your knowledge into practice with open water dives, which can even be completed at the Denver Downtown Aquarium.

We are committed to providing a fun, safe, and rewarding diving experience for everyone, from beginners to certified divers.
