Our Courses are open water training in a conducive environment. The lake offers a stable, predictable environment that isn't affected by weather conditions.
Our first open water dives were over 200 each when we became Open Water Scuba Instructors with the Professional Association of Dive Instructors. Since then, our active teaching has been in Arizona and California as well as Mexico, New Jersey, Arizona, and Mexico. After becoming independent instructors, it took us less than a month to get our PADI Master Scuba Diving Trainer rating. We also taught several specialty courses. Each year we take over 150 dives. The majority of our dives last at least an hour.
We began diving over a decade ago and quickly fell in love with the sport. It became apparent after that first breath off a regulator in the pool that this was going to be a passion. We bought all of our gear before we even headed to the Sea of Cortez for our checkout dives! After returning from our checkout dive weekend, we knew we couldn’t wait for another trip to Mexico to dive again. We started diving the waters of Panama and ended up logging over 100 dives our first year as divers. Our passion for diving had taken us over so much that we decided we wanted to help pass it along to others.
We believe that training in scuba diving should not just be about learning how to respond in the event of an emergency. While this is an important aspect of the training, we also make sure that you are competent to do so once you are done. This applies to every course, whether it is Open Water or Technical. We teach you how scuba diving works, not just how it is possible to survive below water. You won’t always be able go to your knees for help if you have an issue. You should be able deal with any issues while you are underwater. That's how we train you.
The new program allows instructors and retailers to save money by not having to purchase multiple sets to teach the same course to different audiences.
The new Sidemount Diver course materials save retailers and instructors time, as they don’t need to go to several different sources to assemble the materials needed to teach a comprehensive course, nor do they need to take the time necessary to come up with their own quizzes, exams and similar teaching tools. Further, they do not have to explain to students and customers why eLearning is not available for this course because it is.
The sunset hours are a magical time to be out on the water. The sun turns golden and paints the sky in a palette of hues and colors that seem almost unreal. There is no way you cannot be taken by it. The clean ocean air, vast sky and unbelievable sunset colors will connect you with nature and give you a feeling of relaxation and happiness that most people don’t get to experience anymore. A sunset trip will help you calm your mind and let you breathe again.
Don't grab animals, don't hold them for photo ops, don't go for rides on dolphins or turtles, and don't force puffer fish to inflate (it can be fatal to them).
