New Ownership since September, 2002

Elizabeth and I (Steve Slattery) purchased Bluewater Scuba in 2002 and have brought a revitalized level of energy, commitment, and integrity to the business.  In March, 2003, the we purchased Miss Anna's Swim School, an esteemed children's swim training business, and have steadily grown that business over the past five years..

With two children and Julia Green Elementary School and one at Ensworth, life is busy around the Slattery home.  Therefore, we understand your scheduling difficulties with kids and busy professional lives.

If you are looking for the highest quality of training with a family owned business, we guarantee that you will enjoy your experience.



Training made easy...
You can start your training at Bluewater Scuba and complete it at any dive shop or resort in the world.  How is that for convenience?  Of course we can start and complete your training; but our curriculum is accepted and recognized at every dive shop and resort in the world.   If you started your training at another shop, we can complete your training on any of our local or Florida weekends.

Did you start your Open Water training but not complete your checkouts within 12 months?


Then, now is the time to complete your training before summer vacation time.  Sign up for any Open Water academic session (Saturday's from 8-12:00) and come back for two more pool sessions to refresh your water skills.  We will be offering this specialty pool refresher on Monday & Tuesday, May 5-6, from 6:30 - 9:00 pm.  Cost - $60 with the purchase of your checkouts.  You save $105.  Special also applies to repeating any standard Open Water weekend class.  Call to schedule and for details.

You are half way there, why not complete your training now and get your certification before summer?
