Campus Settings and Facilities
The Academy’s training sites have the unique advantage of being 
situated along major bodies of water. The banks of the St. Johns River are home to the Jacksonville site, which is only a few miles from the Atlantic Ocean. The campus provides inland and open-water diving experiences. The site is equipped with multiple classrooms, library, conference room, administrative offices and state of-the-art Hyperbaric and decompression facilities. In addition, training areas include welding/cutting and construction, commercial diving, underwater construction projects, six complete dive stations, ship husbandry, and non-destructive testing. Floating sea-going training vessels include a deck barge, and response and work/crew boats. Orientation and welding training is taught in our 20’ deep training tanks.
