The only on-site training pool.
Whether you are taking a certification class, practicing a skill, trying out new equipment, or just need to wash your scuba gear, our on-site training pool provides ease of access and convenience. It is the only pool in the surrounding area that is specifically designed for dive training, featuring a shallow platform where students can learn and practice skills safely and comfortably before moving to the deeper end to put those skills to the test. Set inside a protective building, our pool maintains a comfortable 80° and is accessible rain or shine between the months of April through October.
Class availability to fit your schedule.
We understand the demands life can put on your time and availability. That is why we offer training classes and other diver services around YOUR schedule. Choose from a variety of classes such as Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Specialties and Professional certifications.
Our classes are in operation nearly every weekend from April through October, but we have several experienced instructors and divemasters who can work with you any day of the week. Just call us for availability!
Are you interested in a private class? We can do that, too! The only thing we love more than diving is teaching others how!

Lake tenkiller diving.
The Nautical Adventures owners and staff are very knowledgeable of the Historical Dive Sites such as Skunk Island, a small island just north of the Tenkiller Lake dam, which features fish-filled ledges, several cement slabs from old homesteads, old bottles, turn of the century horseshoes, and other historical relics waiting to be discovered.
Lake Tenkiller also boasts the popular Dive Park, an area off of Fisherman's Point at Tenkiller State Park that Nautical Adventures has established for divers to explore and enjoy. The park showcases swim-though attractions such as a sunken coast guard helicopter, airplane, several boat hulls and much more to be discovered. Lake Tenkiller is a great diving lake due to its clear waters, mild sloping hills and rock cliff over-hangs. At 145 feet deep, Tenkiller is one of the deepest lakes in the area.
