Instructors complete a home study program, an 18-hour training session, and a 32-hour water apprenticeship. Diventures says it makes waves in the community by educating and encouraging a passion for swim and scuba wherever it can.

Monthly enrollment is available. A free trial lesson can be requested. For children 3 and younger, or those not toilet trained, reusable swim diapers are required. Safety is the number one priority. The Peoria classes have a maximum of 3 swimmers.
