My diving philosophy is very unique: divers should be trained beyond their level of diving as opposed to diving beyond their level of training.

When divers are trained beyond the level of class that they are currently taking, they will develop more confidence and become more compentent with their diving skills and activities. The result will be more enjoyment of the underwater world.

In order to be trained beyond your level of diving, mastery of simple, fundamental skills must first be established.

Mastery of these skills first start off with good buoyancy control. This allows for more control while in the water.

In addition to good buoyancy control, good trim allows you to move more efficiently through the water. Trim is the horizontal position your body is in while in the water.

When we combine good buoyancy and good trim, we can lay a solid foundation for the remaining skills you will learn. By the end of class, you should be able to perform critical scuba diving skills while in a horizontal position with good buoyancy control.

Because good buoyancy control and good trim doesn't come easy for most people, my classes require a littlle bit more time than the industry norms. My classes are not rushed, but rather focus on skill mastery and building comfort and competency.

In addition to these basic fundamentals, focusing on developing team diving skills will further enhance your diving. When a team can work efficiently together, then when problems arise, they can be dealt with effectively and safely.

I don't just certify divers. I train and develop skilled and competent divers.
