Somewhere On A Reef SCUBA

What an incredible weekend! 🌊🤿

One of the best parts of being an instructor is watching friends become confident divers. This weekend, I had the privilege of taking a longtime friend (and brother from another mother!) on two major firsts—his first dives as a certified PADI Open Water Diver and his very first ocean dives in Curaçao!

Seeing the excitement, confidence, and pure joy that comes with exploring the underwater world never gets old. Congratulations on this huge milestone! You’ve officially started an adventure that will take you to amazing places and introduce you to an entirely new world beneath the surface.

The ocean isn’t the limit… it’s just the beginning! 🌎🐠🌴

A new industry initiative backed by PADI, DAN and Garmin wants to make diver preparedness a bigger part of every diver's journey.

Rescue Diver Ready aims to encourage divers to keep rescue skills fresh long after certification, while introducing new preparedness assessments, training opportunities and community events.

Would you consider yourself Rescue Ready today?

What a day! Meghan picked the coldest Saturday in February (26 degrees but felt like 12) to knock out her Drysuit Specialty. Then up’ed the experience with 15 mph winds and white caps on the lake @ Fantasy Lake Adventure Park 🤯. Be she was a trooper and crushed it like a champ!😎

Great work and congratulations on making it through. I can’t wait to see you at Fantasy Lake soon.

This is a group of dedicated SCUBA divers. They weathered two weekends at two different quarries, cold water, and rain to get their PADI Advanced Open Water Course completed. Great work and congratulations on making it through. I can’t wait to see you at Fantasy Lake Adventure Park or Mystery Lake Scuba Park soon.

Didn’t have time to dive on this whirlwind Mediterranean adventure, but we swapped tanks for snorkels and made it count! Our small group Mediterranean Sea trip included amazing stops in Monaco, Italy, Malta, Sicily, France, and Spain.

“I’m doing my pool session with you and finishing my open water dives on vacation. When can I fly?”

I hear this question all the time. DAN breaks it down in this article for anyone wondering about flying after confined-water scuba training.
