Dive Into Reckless Abandon!
Welcome to PODI — where we turn your survival instincts into a suggestion.
"The other guys care about safety. We care about vibes." — Kyle McSplash, Founder
Our courses are 100% guaranteed to get you underwater. Getting you back up? That's on you.
Book Your Dive (Waiver sold separately)Why Choose PODI?
Cheapest Prices in Town
Our courses start at just $49.99! That's because we skip the "pool training," "textbooks," and "safety equipment." You save money, we save time. Everyone wins!
Fastest Certification
Most agencies take weeks. We can get you "certified" in under 4 hours. Our record is 22 minutes. Did we check your buoyancy? No. Do you have a card? Yes!
"Industry Leading" Ratios
Our instructor-to-student ratio is 1:47. That's not a typo. We believe in "learning from osmosis" and "survival of the fittest." Builds character!
Guaranteed Photo Ops
Our instructors spend 80% of the dive taking selfies. You'll get at least one blurry photo of a fin. Perfect for Instagram content that says "I dive" without proving you can.
Equipment Rental
Our rental gear has never been serviced. Ever. The BCDs still have the original 1980s air in them. Vintage vibes, authentic experience. We call it "rustic diving."
Award-Winning
We won "Most Likely to Trigger a Darwin Award" in 2023, 2024, and 2025. We would have won 2022 but the judge was in the chamber.
What Our "Students" Say
"I signed up for Open Water and ended up in Open Heart surgery. But the certificate looks great on my wall!"
"Graduate" of PODI Open Water (currently in physio)
"My dive master told me to 'just equalize harder.' I now understand what a sinus infection feels like. 10/10, very educational."
Advanced Open Water (she can't equalize)
"I paid $99 for the 'Master Diver' course. It was a YouTube video. Best $99 I ever spent, honestly."

🚩 Red Flags We're Surprisingly Proud Of
- All of our instructors have their certifications from PODI (self-accredited, infinitely recursive)
- Our "pool training" is conducted in a local swimming pool that has a "no diving" sign
- We offer a "Buy One Get One Free" deal on courses — the free one is your buddy's rescue course
- Our emergency action plan is: "Don't panic. Call 911. We don't have oxygen on site."
- We once certified a mannequin as a Divemaster. It had more dive experience than some of our staff.
- Our liability waiver is written in crayon and includes a clause about "fun having to be had at all times"
- We've been investigated by 3 different maritime authorities. Zero convictions!
