Small groups. Serious diving.

Double Arrow Dive Company is a boutique dive school on the shore of Lake Okanagan, built for divers who want to be genuinely good, not just certified.

Our approach

Doing It Right

We teach to a DIR (Doing It Right) philosophy: a standardised, holistic approach to gear configuration, trim, buoyancy and team awareness that scales cleanly from your very first dive through to cave and mixed gas. Capped at four students, it's deliberate teaching built on the same fundamentals every great diver shares.

As a TDI and SDI Authorised Training Facility, we teach the full pathway in-house: from a first breath underwater to staged decompression, mixed gas and cave. No production-line certifications, no shortcuts.
