Classes

PADI E-Learning

If you want to dive Gotham Divers can make it happen! We have a full range of classes from complete beginner through deep wreck diving ninja. We offer classes through PADI, RAID, SSI, SDITDI.

For those who have never dove before and want to get certified it’s simple to get started, just sign up for Open Water class and pool from the list below and then contact us for the next available sessions (please budget the whole process taking three weeks although it can be done quicker – if in a rush please contact us first to see what the options are). Sessions typically run weekly/every other week (Monday for in-person classroom; Wednesday for pool).

Check out our classes in the list below. If you don’t see the class you need give us a call, the chances are we just forgot to put it in the list!
