Scuba Classes at Submerged, Inc.

Submerged, Inc. has a fresh approach to teaching scuba classes, and to scuba diving in general. Our classes are competitively priced with other scuba shops in Maryland, DC, and Virginia, but once you consider everything we include in our courses, and especially the increased time you have with your instructor in and out of the water, you will realize that you gain much more by taking a class at Submerged. Our primary training agency is Unified Team Diving (UTD), but we also offer classes through Scuba Diving International (SDI), Technical Diving International (TDI), as well as PADI. We are the only Unified Team Diving (UTD) Training Facility on the East Coast - we are proud to be UTD instructors, and divers who have earned a UTD certification are proud to hold that certification because they know that it represents overcoming a bigger challenge and earning a bigger reward. UTD certified divers are some of the best trained divers in the world, conducting some challenging projects and exploration dives. Once you complete your UTD diver training, you will truly understand why UTD has some of the highest training standards in the industry and that UTD divers are held in such high regard. 

We offer recreational scuba classes, technical dive training, overhead courses (wreck, cave, and ice diving), and specialty scuba classes in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC. For our scuba classes at every level, we spend lots of time developing your diving knowledge and understanding. We do not simply review the answers in the book, give you a quiz and assume you suddenly possess a sufficient understanding to allow you to have fun and be safe diving. We find that students who are given more knowledge and who are challenged a bit further during their training are more confident and comfortable diving because they understand what is going on and they know what to do on their dives. Our divers are not "follow me" divers. Beyond knowledge development we spend a lot of time developing your in-water skills and we conduct more training dives in open water than most scuba courses offered elsewhere. We do it all at a competitive price because we want you to be a comfortable, confident, and competent diver at every level you undertake.

Community and Dive Events

Diving is more fun when you have fun people to do it with, though, so we put a lot of energy into growing a local diving community of like-minded divers. Submerged offers several opportunities throughout the year to go diving locally, and also on store-sponsored dive trips. Submerged is also special in that the owners and staff actually go diving all the time, too! We go diving outside of teaching classes because we actually love diving! We work hard to ensure that our divers have the support they need to do the type of diving they want to do, whether it's being able to take the next level class, get equipment serviced, or get a gas fill.
