Where you’ll dive in Naples
Real sites, with honest depths. Kaitlyn will tell you which of these your certification level actually suits before you book anything.
A 47-foot turtle boat sunk as an artificial reef in 1997, about 3.8 miles west of Gordon Pass. Shallow, easy, and the standard first boat dive out of Naples.
A locally beloved wreck site with big groupers, amberjacks and passing pelagics. A good step up once your buoyancy and comfort are solid.
Deep-water structure well offshore — this one is for divers with Advanced training and a recent deep dive, not for a certification course.
Mangrove-fringed shallows and patch bottom. Sheltered from most wind and ideal for the first open-water dives of a course.
A region with a genuine shallow ladder
What makes Naples useful for instruction is the spread of depth. You can run open-water dives at 20 feet on Santa Lucia in the morning and be looking at 110 feet at Baja California a year later on the same stretch of coast. A diver trained here has a natural progression instead of a wall.
How the travel works
Kaitlyn comes to Naples, runs your sessions in local water, and coordinates the boat or shore access with you in advance. Tell her your dates, your certification level if you have one, and how many divers you are — she will come back with a plan rather than a class calendar. More lead time means a better plan.
She comes to you. Kaitlyn is based in Venice and travels for instruction across Florida — Naples included. Give her as much lead time as you can and she arranges the pool, the boat and the dates around your group rather than handing you a fixed class calendar. Travel cost and scheduling depend on distance, group size, and how many days you need; she quotes it directly when you send your dates.
