Scuba Instruction Services

The dive season in Central Texas is just around the corner.  No better time to begin planning your next vacation to some place warm and to begin (if you haven’t already) thinking about adding scuba diving to your list of great activities.  With all the talk of being “green”, there’s nothing better to learn and see firsthand the beauty and the peril of our most valuable unseen treasures - our oceans and waterways.

BECOMING A SCUBA DIVER

Becoming a scuba diver is both fun and safe.  I personally got certified to enjoy a vacation with my family to Hawaii and enjoyed it so much, I turned it into a partime career.  The thing I love the most is the friendships you create with fellow divers all around the world.

SO WHAT DO I DO?

I am a PADI MSDT scuba instructor.  MSDT means I teach all the basic certifications but also teach speciality courses that allow you to add different types of dives and locations to your diving activities.  While I teach as an independent, I strongly recommend that I work with you through my dive shop, Scubaland Adventures.  They have 3 convenient locations (south Austin, Central Austin, and the Lake Travis/620) area.  They are a full-service dive shop and offer convenient schedules and the best customer service anywhere.   They also provide the best equipment that can match both your diving needs and budget.  You might be tempted to buy online (I was) but I can vouch for the perceived difference in cost - you’ll find the service and knowledge of their staff well worth every penny.

Here are the different types of courses that I can teach.  Click on each one and you’ll see the course description from PADI as I teach it.

Beginner courses include:OpenWater, and Advanced OpenWater, Rescue, Project Aware, Peak Performance Buoyancy

If you want to pursue specialty courses (I highly recommend them to expand your adventure), I also certify you as a Master Diver in the following specialties: Enriched Air (Nitrox), , Night Diving, Deep Diving, Underwater Navigation, Boat Diving, Drift, Multi-level,  and Underwater Photography.

If you’ve been certified and just need a refresher, I also teach Scuba Review refresher courses.  If you’re interested in turning pro, I can help you get started with your DiveMaster professional certification.

Please contact me to find out more.  Here’s where you can also see the list of scheduled classes at Scubaland.  Make sure that you request me or tell them I sent you!
