Scuba Courses
As an instructor, I set high standards for myself and my students. I believe that dive instruction should do more than just meet the minimum requirements established by the certifying agency.
- It should provide the skills and techniques needed to dive safely and successfully in Puget Sound’s cold water and low-visibility environment.
- It should focus on the needs and goals of the individual.
- And it should challenge the student not only achieve the goals of the class, but to strive to learn something new every time they go diving.
I believe that a solid foundation of skills helps a diver be more comfortable in the water, and have more fun every time they dive.
I currently offer the following courses.
