Mike’s
passion for diving emanated from a family sailing trip at the British
Virgin Islands in 2003. Mike purchased gear for him and his family to
snorkel while on their trip. Mike has been sailing for many years and
never considered diving until this trip. Many of Mike’s sailing friends
also dive and couldn’t understand his lack of interest.
Mike was inspired to try something new and he made arrangements to
purchase Open Water lessons.
Continuing his diving education and experiences, Mike has become a PADI
IDC Staff Instructor, PADI EFR Instructor and a DAN Instructor. These
professional certifications allow him to teach recreational students
and, along with a Course Director, prepare new instructor candidates for
the PADI instructor examination. His current goal is to become a PADI
Master Instructor.
He has taken many diving trips which have been both land based and live
aboard. Some of the more exotic locations include Cozumel, Turks &
Caicos, Curacao, Cabo, Saba, Statia, St Kitts and Utila. He has many
more places to explore, including diving in the US and British Virgin
Islands.
Mike looks to share his passion and training in sailing and diving with
others as a PADI Instructor. He looks forward to working with divers at
all levels and hopes to share some great experiences on future trips. |
