2010 SCUBA class schedule

Harrisburg Scuba Center is a PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) dive center, using instructional procedures and certifying standards established and maintained by PADI.

If you're still not sure SCUBA is for you try one of the Discover SCUBA classes. Discover SCUBA is a fun "try it before you buy it" option. During Discover SCUBA you get to don all the scuba equipment and swim around a local pool. This way you can discover if scuba diving is for you.
all are available to meet your schedule
