BellyUp Diving050

"Midwest diving" seems a bit contradictory, but BellyUp Diving believes anyone interested in underwater exploration deserves proper training, even those far, far away from seascapes.

Private and group lessons teach the fundamentals of scuba diving, including instruction on the correct dive equipment and techniques to use. Certification requires the completion of pool dives, five knowledge development sessions, and four open water dives; students also need to be at least 10 years old.

Special-needs individuals can take advantage of instruction too: BellyUp Divers, pairing with the International Association for Handicapped Divers (IAHD) offer underwater guides, capable dive buddies, and training programs, standards, guidelines, materials, and member support.

Birthday Pool Parties with BellyUp instructors are great fun. Parties are for children ages eight and older and can take place at private homes or at pools hosting special events. For those hosting their own pool parties, Belly Up Diving can supply certified lifeguards.
