Learn to Dive... ....at Rick's Scuba Diving offers different benefits to different people. It is calm, relaxing, or adrenaline pumping. It's easy, challenging or you can make an exotic travel adventure out of it. Young, old, fit, not-so-fit, able-bodied, physically-challenged, timid, adventurous, nature lover, technophile, high income, modest income, professional, amateur...diving offers something for everyone and even adapts to what you're up for right now and as it changes. Very few other activities have such versatility. Come "DIVE IN" with the pro's at Rick's Dive 'N Travel Center and let our staff of instructors introduce YOU to our world - The wonderful underwater world. Most of our staff has been a part of Rick's for 30 years. BUT, do yourself a favor, don't just open the phone book and start calling to see who can certify you the "cheapest" or quickest". We usually won't win that honor. It is difficult to be the "least expensive", when you have the MOST to offer. There is more to learning to scuba dive than just "enrolling in a scuba class" AND all dive courses are NOT created equal. Even some of OUR current staff members found this out.... the hard way... somewhere else. At Rick's, scuba diving is a lifestyle that can offer many years of excitement and enjoyment for the whole family. When you consider the complete package that our dive center offers, we know you WILL NOT be disappointed...& we guarantee it! Come take a tour of our Aquatic Center and meet our staff so we can show you personally, why we.....ARE Different. If you are not certified, but interested in information about our beginning diver programs, click here or one of the links at the top of this page. We might also suggest that you take a few moments to read some of the unsolicited comments from many of our satisfied students/customers/friends on our guest book. We thank you for taking the time to get this far on our web site.
Accolades are important to our staff, as they are gratified when their
hard work is noticed by others. We have been certifying divers since 1978 and rated
Arkansas'
Premier Diver Training Center for a reason. In 2003, Ricks was honored
as one of the top 10 dive centers in the USA, and Ricks has also been
featured on
NBC Date Line.

We look forward meeting YOU
- Your diving journey has just begun!
....important
things to
ponder! We have designed our diving programs to be educational, yet fun & informative. Our educational team of PADI Instructors has over 100 years of combined diving experience something very few can claim. Utilizing our custom indoor heated deep pool on premises, (we're not talking about a 2' or 3' lap pool like some use) We make sure each and every one of our student divers get the special skills attention they deserve. (see our Guest Book for comments from many of our former customers & students). Our onsite pool also allows our students the opportunity to practice their dive skills, try new dive equipment, refresh your memory before a dive vacation or just come by to "take a dive", all at no charge. We know having our classrooms and pool on premises makes learning to scuba dive more convenient & fun (no lugging your gear back and forth to a cold outdoor pool somewhere on the other side of town) Rick's provides each student with a complete well maintained scuba system and assures each person a proper fit (no large stuff on small people etc). Be sure to check our link to "class calendar" for a time frame that best fits your schedule, or give us call for class availability information or to answer any specific questions that you may have. You can even receive college credit for our diving program. We are looking forward to hearing from you! Why Pick Us? MAKING YOU COMFORTABLE
