ABOUT US Our AWESOME Scuba Certification Team

David is originally from North Carolina and learned to dive while stationed in GUAM for the U.S. Navy in the early 1980's. He fell in love with the scuba diving and becoming a dive professional was the next natural step. He LOVES to teach and introduce his students to the new world under the water! He has amazing patience and has certified students at the recreational level on up to the various dive professional levels. David believes having fun is mandatory and is known for teaching his students to 'boogie' underwater.

Loyda was certified during the colder months here in San Antonio. As she got out of the water, her hair froze stiff and had icicles hanging from her hair. You may find Loyda doning her"Queen Feona" hoodie. Loyda has affectionately nick named herself "MERMAID FLUNKY", however she has become a passionate instructor and her love for scuba is reflected in her classes and her dives.

Steve was introduced to SCUBA diving at the very young age of 12.

Jim has been actively diving for the past 20+ years. Like many of us, he was HOOKED, and asked himself ‘Why did I wait so long?’. It quickly became a passion, along with underwater photography. Any day underwater is a good day – add his camera system and then it becomes a terrific day! Jim is an award-winning underwater photographer with some phenomenal pictures to prove it, and often dives with the best in the industry. He enjoys diving Indonesia and the Caribbean. Jim wishes his enthusiasm for diving and photography will rub off on his students and hope they experience the same exhilaration when hearing the clanging of tanks being loaded on a dive boat. Jim follows the 3rd rule of diving – FASHION! He loves to color coordinate his gear and wishes dive gear was made with more yellow. He even replaces zip ties on his gear with neon yellow zip ties. Give him color!

Diving has been a lifelong passion for George.  That passion was ignited when he first learned to scuba dive back in 1997. Since then, his appreciation for exploring the underwater world has only grown deeper with each dive. Whether he is immersed in the vast expanse of the open ocean for technical dives or gracefully descending into the depths with his side mounts set-ups, the water never fails to captivate him. From mastering new skills to delving into uncharted territories, each dive presents its own unique challenges and rewards. George takes every opportunity to expand his horizons beneath the water; however perhaps what brings him the greatest joy is sharing his obsession and fascination with others. Whether it's teaching new divers, advanced divers or just swapping stories with fellow enthusiasts, he finds immense fulfillment in spreading the magic of the underwater world.
