Building the Next Generation of Paddlers

Paddling courses are the natural next step for anyone looking to advance their paddling skills. We have paddling courses tailored for beginning paddlers looking to learn basic paddling techniques, all the way to the highest level of paddle sport courses taught in the State of Florida.

At ECOmersion, all of our instructors are carefully vetted, L2 ACA instructors, and periodic additional training is provided in order to ensure that your time on the water with us is safe, enjoyable, and educational.  Our team is enriched by the wide diversity of staff backgrounds (including Environmental Educators, Wilderness Guides, Marine Biologists, Coast Guard and Ship Navigation Officers, and ACA Certified Paddlesport Instructors), yet our team is unified by a common love of the marine environment and a passion for sharing paddle sports with others. With many decades of combined kayaking experience, our team looks forward to providing you with extremely informative courses to enhance the skills of the Central Florida paddle sport community!
