We offer recreational, technical, and cave diving instruction and mentorship personalized for you.
Whether you dive a single tank, backmounted manifolded doubles, or sidemounted cylinders, we can offer you the best training possible in all types of diving.
Post dive briefing to mixed class
We serve the Florida panhandle and Lower Alabama and also conduct training at Peacock Springs State Park.
Make sure you check out our Courses page for information on our teaching philosophy and our Course Fees page for an easy reference table layout of our courses.
Do you want to cave dive but don't want to dive doubles? Would you rather go right into a sidemount configuration when you do your cave diving training? We can do that for you. While not all agencies or instructors can offer cave diving training in sidemount, Chipola Divers can. Don't waste your money on gear for manifolded doubles just to do your training. Go right into sidemount. Contact us to find out about all the benefits of sidemount diving. And save money!
We offer personalized IANTD, NSS-CDS, PSAI, PADI, SDI, and TDI scuba diving instruction in small (no more than 6 students per class, 4 for open water) or private classes. We are not a dive shop. We are independent instructors offering quality instruction with the personal touch you won't find in a dive shop. And we not only teach the courses, we do the dives. We do more personal dives than instructional dives and will always keep it that way.

Thursday, 04 February 2010
We used to sponsor dive events in Arizona on a regular basis. Well, we're bringing that tradition to Florida. Our first event will be on February 20, 2010 from 8am to 5pm at Jackson Blue. After signing in at Cave Adventurers at 8am, we're heading over to Jackson Blue for a day of diving. We'll be doing everything from cavern dives to staged cave dives. Looking for some mentoring or just need a buddy? Come on out and join us. You must be trained/certified to the level of the dive. Interested in finding out what the next level of training is like, contact us for details. E-mail us at

Madison Blue Spring -
After being blown out for the past couple of months, Madison Blue Spring is the first cave in the area to be back open to diving. Reports of 20-25' visibility in the main passage with parts of the line buried in the sand, so be careful and note the line as you move through the passage. Reports also indicate visibility drops down to 5' or less off the main passage.
