Master Scuba Diver Trainier

I have always been fascinated with what is under the surface of the water, whether it is aquatic life or shipwrecks. I wanted to know and see what was down there. In 2006, I took the plunge and obtained my PADI Open Water Certification. I immediately knew that with my love for training I wanted to continue and become a PADI Dive Instructor. In 2013. I achieved that milestone. Now, I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your goal of seeing our planet from a different perspective.
