The private class option for some people is a great choice for many reasons:
• Scheduling flexibility. Particularly for people who cannot do their classes during weekend days.
• For a more intimate class experience with only your family & friends
• Slower-paced and more individual focused
• People with disabilities or physical limitations
• Great for groups that have kids under the age of 12 (10 years old is the age minimum)
Upon enrollment in a private class with First Coast Divers, we will assign one of our PADI Instructors to teach your class. That instructor will coordinate with your group leader to come up with a class schedule that works well for everyone.
