The program's extraordinary facilities include underwater classrooms in a controlled marine environment 120 meters long and 25 meters wide with a depth of almost 40 feet, secure training platforms, a complete dive locker of basic, advanced and specialty equipment, lowand high pressure air stations, Olympic size pool, two double lock hyperbaric chambers, and classrooms; all located on the FKCC campus grounds known as The Point.

The FKCC underwater education staff-including a large adjunct staff of local and visiting instructors-often brings as much as 100 years of experience to a single course.

The college offers entry level through Scuba Instructor courses from internationally recognized programs such as NAUI, PADI, SSI, and YMCA. Other affiliations include DAN and IANTD.

For almost twenty years the college has been the national training center for all civilian divers of the US Army Corps of Engineers. It now also serves as the East Coast training facility for NOAA working divers. It is a primary training center for Public Safety Diving and recently initiated an innovative course in Underwater Port Security.
