Seminole Scuba

From freshwater springs alive with river otters and turtles to ocean reefs and wrecks, Seminole Scuba puts you in Florida's most diverse dive environments with personalized instruction and a tight-knit local dive community behind you.

Seminole Scuba is based at 3869 Lake Emma Road in Lake Mary, Florida, drawing divers from across the Orlando, Sanford, and Longwood region. The shop is family-owned and built around small class sizes and personalized service, guiding students from their very first breath underwater through to dive professional training. Florida's varied underwater environments provide the training grounds: freshwater springs where river otters, turtles, bass, gar, and bluegill are common sights, and open-ocean sites where divers may encounter starfish, octopus, yellow stingrays, tropical fish, frogfish, and seahorses. The course catalog spans the full recreational range—Discover Scuba Diving for first-timers (available by appointment at the pool or a nearby spring, three hours, no prerequisites), PADI Open Water Diver (six partial days covering pool sessions and four open water dives at springs and ocean sites, completed across two weekends), Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver, and a Freediver program. Specialty offerings include the PADI Aware Dive Against Debris course, and instructor-level development is available for those pursuing professional training. Open Water enrollment with PADI manuals and the Aware course is priced at $629.00; the Rescue Diver course enrolls at $350.00 with manuals. In addition to local training, Seminole Scuba organizes group dive travel to international destinations—the Solomon Islands is featured among upcoming trips. The shop also carries a curated selection of dive equipment from brands including Apeks, Atomic Aquatics, Garmin, and Fourth Element, and offers a Dive Addicts membership subscription for regular divers in the community.
