Scuba Diving

Hello. I'm a PADI IDC Staff Instructor.

I have previously worked as an instructor at Utila Dive Center in Utila, Honduras, as a volunteer diver at the Oklahoma Aquarium, and as a dive safety officer at the St. Louis Aquarium.

I teach PADI courses including Scuba Diver, Open Water Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver, Rescue Diver, and Divemaster. I am also certified to teach twenty-five different specialties, including Wreck, Dry Suit, Enriched Air, Deep, Night, Drift, Coral Reef Conservation, Shark Conservation, Fish Identification, and Self-Reliant diving.

For the younger divers, I run the Bubblemaker and the Seal Team AquaMissions programs.

As an IDC Staff Instructor, I also participate in Instructor Development Courses and assist Course Directors in conducting IDC courses.

In addition to teaching scuba diving and related activities, I'm also a cavern diver and a technical diver.
