Instructor Goal
As your instructor, my goal is to share years of diving experience with students seeking Open Water through Divemaster, technical and ovehead dive training as well as over a dozen recreational specialty courses. I offer relaxed, student-focused classes with student-instructor ratios usually 4:1 (smaller for some courses) so you receive the best possible instruction. Students complete a course feeling confident in their abilities.
