JAVA Academy

Trained likeit's built.

The equipment is half the product. The Academy is the other half — a training standard as deliberate as a welded seam, from first sidemount dive to instructor board.

One-on-two, never more

Two students per instructor is the maximum at which precision can be taught. We have never made an exception.

Video on every dive

You cannot correct what you cannot see. Every training dive is filmed and debriefed frame by frame.

The engineers teach

Academy instructors sit in on design reviews. When they explain the equipment, it's first-hand knowledge.

The syllabus

Every certification carries agency equivalency — RAID and PADI for recreational levels, TDI crossover at technical level. What it certifies, however, is the JAVA standard.
