Bakersfield Scuba Center

California, United States

If you’re based inland but dreaming of California’s kelp forests, Bakersfield Scuba Center is a solid choice for getting certified. As a PADI 5 Star IDC centre, they’re set up for everything from your Open Water right through to instructor development, making them a hub for divers looking to progress. We’ve found their instructors have a knack for breaking down skills, which really helps if you’re a bit nervous about those first open water dives. They run regular trips to local dive spots, meaning you can get comfortable in the pool and then easily transition to diving the Pacific.
