Professional Dive Instruction, Emergency First Aid Responder Courses
About Us
After having completed a 20-plus year military career as an honorably retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, I rekindled my passion for scuba diving and appreciation of the wonderful underseas environment, its fragile ecosystem and fascinating marine life.
----------
In addition to being closer to family and further pursue a second career in the diving community, my Wife and I relocated and called home to beautiful Port Saint Lucie, Florida.
----------
In complement to my initial Open Water certification in 1991 with the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), after military retirement I felt compelled to utilize my skills as a military trainer to further my diving experience as a professional diving instructor.
----------
My sole premise for scuba diving and first responder training is to teach and mentor others on learning to dive, experience firsthand our underwater world, its amazing sea life and save lives.
----------
I have been afforded the opportunity and privilege of diving throughout Florida, Thailand, The Dominican Republic, Curacao, Panama and Cayman Brac.
----------
My professional diving certifications include Open Water and Specialty Course Instructor ratings for the non-profit National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI), Technical Diving International/Scuba Diving International (TDISDI) and PADI.
----------
I have been fortunate in having learned from renowned scuba diving Course Directors from PADI, SDI and NAUI with a combined military and civilian diving experience of 25,000-plus dives. These Course Directors diving knowledge and practical teaching experience defines the word impressive and sets the industry standard for scuba divers and dive professionals alike who seek to follow in their footsteps."
----------
In addition to my professional Dive Instructor and specialty ratings, I am certified to teach adult, child and infant First Aid, CPR, Emergency Oxygen and Diving First Aid Professional Courses with Divers Alert Network (DAN), Emergency First Response Instructors (EFRI) and First Response Training International (FRTI).
"Now, it's my turn to educate, teach, mentor and share this continuing journey and experience with you."
