PADI certificate for PADI Hot Spring Diver Instructor

It’s time for something new and different.   A PADI Distinctive Specialty diver course for diving in hot springs.   [Instructor-level training is also available.]

What’s a hot spring?   A spring fed by water that is warmer than nominal ground water.    In Utah and the Intermountain west, we’re surrounded by them.   In Utah, one of the best known is the Homestead Crater.
