Instruction

Instructor Goal

As your instructor, my goal is to share years of diving experience with students seeking Open Water through Divemaster, overhead and technical 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.
