Congratulations to Tony Helmel, our newest SSI Master Diver!

Tony has been diving since May of 1982, though he took some time off because, you know, life happens. Recently, he refreshed his skills and continued his training to become an even better diver—and that he has!

Tony recently completed his SSI Diver Stress and Rescue course. And with that, his specialties, and 50+ logged dives, he has earned the prestigious and highly sought-after Master Diver recognition rating.

I bet he doesn’t stop there! Why do I think so? Because Tony is a go-getter, and safety is always his main concern. He has spent the last 39 years as a helicopter pilot and has devoted his career to Life Flight, piloting helicopters that get people to medical care as quickly and safely as possible. That is amazing!

So the next time you see a helicopter fly overhead, it could be Tony helping people—because that is what he does. Give him a big wave and a thank-you for his service.

Congratulations, Tony! You have so much to be proud of!

Want to be the dive buddy everyone hopes they’re paired with on a trip?

The SSI Diver Stress and Rescue course is where it’s at!

In DSR, you’ll learn self rescue, buddy assists, how to help a stressed diver underwater and at the surface, how to a safely assist a panicked diver and what to do for a non-responsive diver.

Our latest crew completed classroom training Friday night, jumped in the pool Saturday to learn and practice their skills and then took those skills to Lake Tenkiller for an amazing water adventure!

We teach the SSI Diver Stress and Rescue course monthly. Stop by our state-of-the-art facility for a tour and enrollment info or simply give the shop a call. We can’t wait to tell you all about it!

Phew! What a splash-tastic weekend in the Scuba Savvy pool!
🤿💦

We had 8 brand-new Open Water divers blowing bubbles, mastering skills, and taking their first big steps toward underwater adventure. We also had 3 certified divers back in the pool for a Scuba Skills Update, sharpening those dive skills like pros. And 3 awesome students were leveling up in Diver Stress & Rescue, learning how to be safer, stronger, more confident dive buddies.

Add in a whole crew of dive professionals keeping things safe, smooth, and fun, and you’ve got one seriously busy pool weekend!

Ready for your next adventure? Need to dust off your skills? Want to become the dive buddy everyone hopes they’re paired with?

Just a typical Wednesday night here at Scuba Savvy. We might need to expand our parking lot soon. Classes are filling up, both swim and SCUBA. Summer is just around the bend, let's make you a savvy swimmer or diver today.

🎉 Congratulations to Brian Brooks on achieving his Master Diver certification! 🎉

In just 18 months, Brian has shown incredible dedication to his training and growth as a diver. From completing his Advanced certification with us in Cozumel—diving to challenging depths of 130’, mastering night dives, navigation, buoyancy, and Nitrox—to earning his Diver Stress & Rescue certification last fall, he’s consistently pushed himself to the next level.

Along the way, Brian has been traveling, diving, and building the experience needed to achieve the highly respected Master Diver rating—and he didn’t stop there.

Early on, we noticed Brian’s natural instinct for looking out for others: spotting equipment issues, recognizing when divers need help, and stepping in with confidence. That awareness makes him a perfect fit for the next step in his journey—he’s now enrolled in the Scuba Savvy Divemaster program and will soon be assisting with classes!

If you see Brian at the shop or out on a dive, be sure to say hello. He’s one of the kindest people we know, and we couldn’t be more proud to have him on our team. 🌊🤿

Scuba Savvy took the Blue Hole by storm this last weekend with Advanced Specialty Diver training! Plus we fit in a little freediving as well! We have Open Water and refresher classes weekly and Advanced, Rescue and Freediving classes monthly, give us a call to get on the schedule.
