What makes us different?
At Evoke Dive Training, you get personalized, 1:1 (or 1:2) instruction to ensure you get the most out of your training. All too often, students are squeezed in large classes and don’t get the due diligence they deserve. In diving, this could be serious. We’re here to change that, one student at a time.
With an extensive background in technical diving, we, at Evoke Dive Training, know the harsh realities in some of the toughest environments. We’ve learned from some of South Florida’s best over the years and implement those same principles of safety-consciousness and rigorously detail-oriented in our instruction.
What can you expect?
To grow as a diver, make new friends, and have a great time doing so. Although we’ll have a primary focus on training, we also want to make sure we have a good time. After all, diving is supposed to be fun! We like to treat our clients like close friends; we’re here whenever you have a question or comment, either by email or phone.
The Florida Keys is the world’s third largest barrier reef, filled with diverse ocean life and even better wreck diving. Key Largo, in particular, offers some fantastic wreck dives, such as the USCGC Duane and the USS Spiegel Grove, the third largest artificial wreck in the world. As a concierge service, we strive to find the best dive sites to fit our individualized course plans and utilize several dive operators throughout South Florida to satisfy our needs.
Want to explore more of the Keys? Let’s plan some kayaking in the mangroves, visiting the History of Diving Museum, or taking a tour of the Turtle Hospital. We’ve got a little something for everybody. Ask about our add-on activity packages with your dive training to learn more!
We’re here to guarantee you a good time and great training.
