Blue Wave Programs
Lessons Program
The Blue Wave Diving Lessons Program is for all levels of divers! We have a lessons program for beginner to intermediate-level divers and a program for advanced to elite-level divers. This program is perfect for high school divers looking for a little extra help before or during their high school season or for divers who can't attend regular lessons with Blue Wave Diving. Divers in this program will attend regularly scheduled lessons and will also have access to all the diving equipment available in our other programs, including our dry-land facility. Divers wishing to purchase 5 or 10 lessons in advance will receive a discount. We also offer cash discounts.
All divers in our program must register with Blue Wave Diving and the Amateur Athletic Union to participate.
