Nobody looks graceful learning to scuba dive. 😂🤿

And you know what? That's half the fun.

We've seen fins go one direction while the diver goes another.

We've seen perfectly good buoyancy disappear the second someone tries to do something else.

And we've seen that look through a mask when someone realizes their body is absolutely NOT cooperating with their brain. 😂

But we've also seen those moments when everything finally clicks.

The hovering gets easier. The movements become natural. And suddenly, that person who was nervous just getting underwater is moving around like they've been doing it forever.

That's the part we love.

Every experienced diver was once a beginner, and every diver has a story about something that didn't go quite as planned.

So let's hear it, divers! What's one thing you struggled with when you first started that you can laugh about now? 👇

🤿 You know what's funny about scuba diving? Everyone thinks everyone else knows what they're doing! 😂

But here's a little secret...

Even the most experienced divers were beginners once.

They've had masks fill with water, forgotten which way to turn something, struggled with buoyancy, and had those moments of wondering, "Am I ever going to get this?"

And guess what? They figured it out!

That's what we love about watching our students in the pool. Every session brings a little more confidence, a few more smiles, and those moments when something finally clicks.

Scuba diving isn't about being perfect. It's about learning, practicing, and getting comfortable doing something pretty incredible.

Some people pick things up quickly. Others need a little more time. And that's perfectly fine!

We're not in a race to see who can become a diver the fastest. We're here to help you become a safe, confident diver who actually ENJOYS being underwater.

And to our experienced divers, remember how exciting those first few pool sessions were? That excitement never really has to go away! 💙

👇 Let's hear it from our diving community!

What's ONE thing you wish someone had told you when you first started scuba diving?

You never know who might need to hear your answer!

🤿 You don't have to know a thing about scuba diving to get started. Seriously!

Every diver starts somewhere, and that's one of our favorite things about what we do!

We have people of all ages getting in the pool. Some are taking their very first breath underwater, some are working toward certification, and others are just happy to be back in the water.

And we love seeing ALL of it! 💙

Here's the thing about scuba diving. You don't have to show up knowing what you're doing. That's what we're here for!

We'll teach you the equipment, the skills, and everything you need to know, one step at a time.

If you've ever watched someone scuba dive and thought, "I wonder if I could do that?"

YES! You absolutely can give it a try!

Our Try Scuba experience is just $100, open to ages 10 and up, and it's a great way to find out what being underwater is all about without committing to a full course.

Whether you're curious, just getting started, or have been diving for 30 years, there's room for you in this community.

Because at the end of the day, we're all just a bunch of people who love blowing bubbles! 🫧

👇 So tell us, are you a seasoned diver, brand new, or someone who's always wanted to try?

We'd love to hear from you!

🌊 THE PART OF SCUBA DIVING YOU DON'T ALWAYS SEE…

It's not just about putting on gear and blowing bubbles. 🫧

It's about showing up. Putting in the time. Learning new skills. Pushing through challenges. And sometimes doing things that are completely outside your comfort zone.

And then comes OPEN WATER! 🤿

This is where all those hours in the pool start coming together. Where our students take what they've learned and put it to work in a whole new environment.

And let us tell you something…

WE HAVE SOME PRETTY INCREDIBLE STUDENTS! 👏

Scuba certification takes commitment. It takes patience, practice, and a willingness to keep learning.

We've watched students work through nerves, overcome challenges, gain confidence, and discover just how capable they really are.

And we couldn't be prouder!

These pictures aren't just about another day of diving. They're about the effort, determination, and dedication that brought everyone to this point.

To our students: THANK YOU! 💙

Thank you for trusting us with your training, showing up ready to learn, and reminding us why we love what we do.

Because at Test the Waters Alaska, we're not just teaching people how to dive.

We're helping create divers who are ready for a lifetime of adventures. 🌎🤿

When was the last time you practiced a scuba skill when nothing was wrong? 👀

Not because your mask was leaking.

Not because your buoyancy suddenly disappeared.

Not because you were kicking like crazy and somehow going nowhere. 😂

Just because you wanted to get better.

That’s the beauty of getting back in the pool.

You can slow everything down. Try a different kick. Adjust your position. Work on buoyancy. Make a mistake. Try it again.

No current. No destination. No rush.

Just you, your gear, and time to work on your diving.

That’s exactly what we’re doing November 10th & 12th during our Kick & Buoyancy Clinics with guest instructor Silas Robichaud.

🤿 Only 4 spots left
💲 $75 per clinic
✔️ Open Water certified
✔️ Actively diving within the last year

Air, BCD & regulator included. Bring your mask, snorkel & fins.

Don’t wait until you need the skill to find out you need to practice it.

Good buoyancy isn’t about looking pretty for the camera. 👀

And learning different kicks isn’t about showing off.

It’s about having control.

Being able to stop without crashing into your buddy.
Turn without using your hands.
Back away from something without stirring up the bottom.
Hold your position when you need to.
Move through the water without working twice as hard as you should.

Those little things?

They change the way you dive.

🤿 Kick & Buoyancy Clinics — November 10th & 12th

Guest instructor Silas Robichaud, Master Scuba Diver Trainer, will be joining us in the pool to break it down, practice it, and help you figure out what YOUR diving needs.

Only 6 divers per clinic. | $75 per clinic

Open Water certified and actively diving within the last year. If it’s been longer, we can get you refreshed first.

Air, BCD & regulator included.
Bring your mask, snorkel & fins.

You don’t need to be a perfect diver.

You just need to be willing to become a better one.

10/05/2026

The pool knows when you’ve been skipping practice. 👀

You can have the certification card.
You can have the gear.
You can have the dive trip booked.

And then you get back in the water and realize…

Oh. I should probably work on that. 😂

Maybe it’s your buoyancy.
Maybe it’s your trim.
Maybe those kicks aren’t quite doing what you think they’re doing.

Good news — we’re about to work on exactly that.

🤿 November 10th & 12th
We’re bringing Kick & Buoyancy Clinics to the pool with guest instructor Silas Robichaud, Master Scuba Diver Trainer.

These clinics are about dialing in the little things that can make a BIG difference underwater — better control, better movement, better awareness, and ultimately a more confident diver.

Only 6 divers per clinic.
$75 per clinic
Open Water certification required
Actively diving within the last year — otherwise, let’s get you into a refresher first.

Air, BCD & regulator included. Bring your own mask, snorkel & fins.

The pool already knows what you need to work on. 😉

Now let’s work on it.

🤿 WHO SAYS SCUBA SEASON HAS TO END?

The lakes may be cooling down, but that doesn’t mean your dive training has to wait until next summer.

This is actually a pretty great time to start.

Get your eLearning done.
Get comfortable in the pool.
Build your skills without rushing.

Then, when it’s time for your open-water dives, you’ve got options — join us if we head south to finish them, or wait until Alaska warms back up next summer.

And right now, we have something we don’t normally offer:

A Tuesday-only option.
A Thursday-only option.

New classes begin October 6th & October 8th.

So if your schedule has always been the thing stopping you… we might have just taken that excuse away. 😉

🤿 TUESDAYS OR THURSDAYS — YOU PICK.

Been wanting to get scuba certified, but your schedule keeps getting in the way?

This is your chance.

We’re starting new Open Water courses October 6th & October 8th, and for a limited time, we’re opening up separate training options:

💦 Only available Tuesdays? We’ve got you.
💦 Only available Thursdays? We’ve got you.

This isn’t how we normally schedule our courses, but we want to give more people the opportunity to finally get started.

You’ll begin your eLearning and pool training now, get those skills dialed in, and then you have options when it’s time for your open-water dives.

Ready to finish sooner? We may be taking a little trip south.
Rather wait? Finish your checkout dives next summer.

Either way, you don’t have to wait to START.

📅 Tuesday class begins October 6
📅 Thursday class begins October 8

Spots are limited, so if scuba certification has been sitting on your “someday” list… someday can be October 6th or 8th. 🤿
