Our next PADI Divemaster course has started at Action Scuba Montreal, taught by our 2 dedicated Course Directors, Gary & Roch. Our DM candidates will be working hard over the coming winter so that next summer they will be all set to help our team of instructors introduce new divers to this great sport of ours!

Good luck to all of them!

If you want to learn more about becoming a PADI Divemaster, or discover why Action Scuba is your best choice for completing your PADI dive professional program, visit our website or drop by to talk to us.

Action Scuba Montreal is now an authorised Oakley dealer, with a large selection of the latest cool sunglasses in stock.

Wondering what sunglasses and scuba have in common? We spend a lot of time on the water, on boats and on beaches pre and post dive. And we`ve learned that the right eye protection is important to prevent long term sun damage to our eyes.

We also know that when you`re running around getting all your last minute gear for trips down south, life is a lot easier if you can pick up everything you need in one place.

We`ve been big fans of Oakley for years, especially their polarised models, which make life on the dive boat much easier.

So we`ve brought our favorite sunglasses to you.

We hope you find what you need! Enjoy

Congratulations to Montreal`s newest PADI Divemasters: Greg Baldock and Fraser Debney. Both of these new scuba diving professionals have worked very hard over the last few months to obtain their certification, and all of us here at Action Scuba are very proud of their accomplishment.

They are now qualified to supervise divers, help with scuba courses and in general act as leaders in the scuba diving community.

The Action Scuba Divemaster program is unique in that it is led by our 2 PADI Course Directors, similar to a PADI IDC (PADI Instructor Development Course), ensuring that once our divemasters complete their training, they already have a head start on their instructor training.

Our Divemaster program includes a wealth of real life experience working with students and instructors in a variety of courses.

We`re looking forward to congratulating a number of other Divemaster candidates, who are wrapping up their own training with Action Scuba.

Great job everyone!

Wondering what to do with your upcoming 3 day Canada Day weekend? We have the answer! Come scuba diving with us!

We have a great weekend planned of scuba diving in the famous thousand islands, less than 2 hours from Montreal.

We have a dive charter on Saturday, Sunday and even Monday, so you can pick the dive sites that you are most interested in. Monday is one of our very popular outings to the shipwreck graveyard in Kingston. That’s a day of scuba diving not to be missed.

Click here to learn more about our dive charters, and why we promise a great day out.

Plus a huge contingent of Action Scuba instructors and dive masters will be in Brockville for one of our certification weekends. A huge group of PADI Open Water Divers will be completing their learn to dive program, as will a group of soon to be PADI Advanced Open Water divers.

Our lucky newly certified PADI Open Water divers will spend Sunday afternoon enjoying their free bonus wreck dive on the famous Robert Gaskin, after their course is complete. It’s always a highlight of the certification weekends, both for the students and for our instructors!

Why not join us for a weekend of fun? Come diving with us, and then join us at our campground at Happy Green Acres for some socializing. 

See you there!

Happy St Jean Baptiste Day!  Enjoy your long weekend, and be sure to get out and DIVE! 

Like doing deep? Come get certified as a PADI Deep Diver this weekend with us in the scenic 1000 Islands.

Together with one of our expert instructors, you`ll dive some of the best and coolest deep dive sites in the area, including the Ash Island Barge, the Lillie Parsons and the Brockville Narrows.

You`ll learn dive techniques and skills specific to the challenges of doing repetitive deep dives, including simulated emergency decompresson stops.

This is a great course for all those who like to explore deep dive sites, who plan on becoming Divemasters or Instructors, or who are interested in pursuing training in Technical Diving.

This specialty certification also counts towards your Master Scuba Diver rating, your ultimate goal in recreational diving.

Congratulations to our very own Gary Davis for completing the First PADI Rebreather and Tec40 CCR instructor course in Canada!

Gary is now a certified rebreather instructor and can offer a wide range of recreational and technical rebreather courses right here at Action Scuba for those interested in exploring the underwater world bubble-free. 

Rebreathers have been growing in popularity in recent years because they allow divers to enjoy longer dives, explore new areas and get closer to marine life because of the lack of bubbles and noisy exhaust.

Action Scuba is always at the forefront of scuba diving innovations, and we’re pleased to be one of the few dive centres in Eastern Canada offering rebreather courses in addition to the sale and service of rebreather equipment.

If you’d like to learn more about rebreather diving, drop by for a chat!

Happy World Oceans Day! What are you doing to celebrate?

We`re celebrating this weekend in the best way possible: SCUBA DIVING!

Even better, we`re scuba diving with an objective - certifing new scuba divers to help them enjoy our oceans and underwater world. That`s right, this weekend is our first Open Water and Advanced Open Water certification weekend of the summer.

And there will be many more! We`re helping more and more Montrealers realise their goals of becoming the best scuba divers possible. That`s even more buddies to dive with!

And of course, they will all be AWARE dive buddies, because we`re making sure to build in the principles of marine conservation into all of our training because we`re so passionate about it.

So we`ll see you underwater this weekend.

Enjoy! 

Congratulations to all of our newly certified Rescue Divers! 

We had a really fun weekend with you guys, and we hope that you enjoyed the learning experience. We know it can be hard work but it’s a great feeling to complete the course, and you all did really well. We’re so proud. 

It’s now time to think about your next step - becoming a Master Scuba Diver, or even going on to become a Divemaster, like the two dive masters in training who helped out on your course. Talk to us to learn more.
