At Professional Scuba Instruction, our main focus is on scuba instruction. Our goal is to give our students the most thorough and the most enjoyable dive training possible. We offer scuba courses in Virginia, DC, and Maryland. Whether you are ready to get your Open Water Diver certification, become a dive professional, move on to the next level of technical dive training, or anything in between, our instructors are ready to train you.

We offer UTD (Unified Team Diving),  PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), and TDI (Technical Diving International) scuba courses year-round. A few of the major advantages of Professional Scuba Instruction are our extremely flexible schedule, small class size, and all-inclusive pricing. When you sign up for a course, we will come up with a schedule that is convenient for you. We know that people in the Virginia, DC, and Maryland area are extremely busy, so we try hard to make the course schedule as convenient as possible for our students. In addition, we offer private and semi-private courses for less than many other shops charge for large group classes.

Our students at every level also benefit from our unique training style and philosophy. You will have the confidence to perform the skills you learned safely and comfortably by the end of your course – and you will have a great time learning it all too!

We strive to offer reasonably priced trips to dive destinations a little off the beaten path…it’s always an adventure, and it’s always a lot of fun.

PSI also offers dive gear sales, gear rentals, and several equipment services. If you need gas fills, cylinder inspections, or oxygen cleaning, we can do it all.
