Why We're Unique
What makes us unique? We are not a retail dive shop, which means our passion is educating our students and offering the best SCUBA dive lessons and certification for Maryland, Virginia and D.C. residents. To ensure our divers are using the safest, most reliable gear, we make a large selection of the highest quality gear available only to students at discount prices, but our focus is providing superior SCUBA education in the D.C. area. The best of both worlds!
Take a look at a few of the reasons why over 10,000 SPE Dive School students have come to rely on us:
- Location

A short walk from the Friendship Heights metro and minutes from I-495, easily accessible from all points in DC, Maryland and Virginia. Directions and Maps.
- Scheduling Flexibility
Our SCUBA classes are designed specifically for busy professionals so that students may "mix and match" to get certified.
- Superior Personal Instruction by Master Divers

SCUBA courses are taught in person, using video instruction only to accent lectures; with our 12-person instructor staff, all pool sessions offer the lowest student to instructor ratio.
- State-of-the-Art Dive Equipment
Only the highest quality dive equipment is used during SCUBA diving lessons and new equipment is available for purchase to our students and graduates at discount prices forever!
- Monthly Tropical and Local Dive Travel
Local dive trips and Caribbean dive trips are offered each month so students can experience the best SCUBA diving environment while still training.
- Lifetime Service
Unable to complete a course you have started? Return during any available future class to finish-we'll track your progress. Gear consultation & membership to our F.O.M.P. Dive Club, free of charge. This is a guarantee for life!
- International Certifications
Our programs qualify you for the most prestigious and widely accepted international certifications issued by PADI, YMCA and CMAS.
- Environmentally Aware
We are very involved and supportive of environmental protection, conservation of the coral reef and marine life and actively donate to non-profit and charity organizations.
