Updated: Oct 2021
It’s been super busy during COVID and as things are opening back up. Running classes outside of Florida is still… complicated. But we are starting to look into them more as vaccination rates go up and positivity rates go down. For High Springs classes, we have a system down that works really well with the new normal. Wet Rocks Diving has taken the opportunity to innovate during these times, resulting in some new benefits to Wet Rocks Diving students that we think are a real game-changer for improving these already top-quality courses. Find out more at a Fundies Info Session…
Info Sessions
Fundamentals is unlike almost any other course you’ve ever taken in the diving world. There’s a lot to learn about in order to figure out if it’s right for you (and it’s not for everyone). We hold periodic free Info Sessions over Zoom. During this session we cover:
- what Fundamentals is about
- how to figure out if it’s right for you
- what to expect
- the methodology used
- how to prepare and common equipment questions
- the Wet Rocks Diving difference <– there’s some awesome new benefits here
- COVID-related modifications and protocols
Wet Rocks Diving is being conservative when it comes to COVID protocols and precautions. Find out why at this info session.

GUE Cave and Tech Training Waves
We are holding many of our Cave and Tech classes in “waves.” This is a set of 2-3 classes in close proximity time-wise and allows for mini-class-years of students that can be a real asset when preparing for class and having more teammates similarly-situated for post-class experience dives.
