About Me

Hello!

I am a full-time dive instructor and consultant based in Florida. I share my passion for diving and the underwater world through custom training courses.

I started teaching scuba and leading travel in my early 20s based in Virginia. I worked at a retail dive store managing training and an extensive travel program. That led me to South Florida, where I’m based today. I teach introductory, advanced, and professional courses. I also offer technical training for decompression, rebreathers, and cave diving as well as industry training for gas blending, visual inspections, and merchandising.

My focus is on your success in establishing your hobby. I want you to have all the tools to succeed during and after your course. I’m confident that my programs are unique, and valuable and set my students up for success.

On the professional side, I want your business to be profitable and successful. I’ve worked with hundreds of dive stores, boats, and instructors and can offer a unique insight into success in diving. I combine my experience as a digital marketing professional, dive store merchandizer, and instructor trainer to create successful dive professionals and dive store employees.
