TESTIMONIALS

  • Josh Cohen is one of the best Course Directors I’ve had the pleasure to work with. He is passionate, patient, and enthusiastic about all things diving! He provides the highest level of customer service and is always professional. Really can’t go wrong at Islamorada Pro Center!

    Jake Holzapfel

  • Fantastic training! The team helped me achieve my goals to become and instructor as well as introducing me to various specialties that are applicable to my job. I would recommend anyone who is looking for quality training with a quality course director, then take an IDC with Josh Cohen at Islamorada Pro Center.

  • Josh Cohen is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable diving professionals I know. He was one of the Course Directors for my IDC and taught me most of my scuba knowledge. As an Adjunct Professor of Scuba Diving at a local College Diving Program, Josh is still someone I call whenever I have a scuba-related question. Josh is simply one of the best!
