If you’re an adult with a love of the water, an adventurous spirit, and the means to enjoy a truly personalized experience, there’s no reason your scuba training should be limited to one location. Why not learn in the place you choose—on your terms, at your pace, and in a destination that excites you?
As a certified professional scuba instructor who specializes exclusively in private adult instruction, I believe your scuba journey should be just as exceptional as the underwater world you’re about to explore. That’s why I offer private, one-on-one training across most of Florida and beyond. Whether you’re just starting out or refreshing your skills before a dream dive trip, I bring a level of attention, patience, and expertise that group classes and random instructor assignments simply can’t match.
Where Do You Want to Learn?
Would you prefer to take your first breaths underwater in the clear springs of Central Florida? Maybe you’d rather train in the warm, aquamarine waters of the Florida Keys. Or perhaps you have a favorite beachside resort, a luxury cruise stop, or even your own private pool where you’d like to begin your scuba journey. That’s entirely possible.
I’m based in the Tampa Bay area, and training locally includes access to excellent nearby dive spots and pool facilities. But if you’re located elsewhere—or simply want the luxury of choosing your own training destination—I’m available to meet you almost anywhere.
Flexible Locations, Personalized Attention
Here’s how it works:
Within Florida: I’m available for private training across most of the state. For locations outside the Tampa Bay area, there’s an additional travel charge of $250 per day (during high season it may be higher).
Out of State or International: I gladly travel for clients who want to complete their scuba training in another state or abroad. These arrangements include business class airfare, accommodations, and a minimum 45-day advance booking to ensure we have the proper training facilities and logistics in place.
Why This Matters
Choosing your location gives you full control over your comfort, timing, and learning environment. You get the consistency of working with the same instructor from start to finish—someone who is there entirely for you, not splitting attention among a dozen other students. Every skill is taught with care and customized to your pace, confidence level, and learning style.
This approach especially appeals to:
Busy professionals who prefer the convenience of training at home or near their vacation home
Affluent travelers who want to blend learning with luxury at a beautiful resort or cruise stop
Couples or friends looking for a private, shared learning experience before an upcoming trip
Anyone over 40 who wants to learn in a stress-free, low-pressure, adult-only environment
A Different Kind of Dive Training
You won’t be crammed into a group class, rushed through skills, or left wondering if you’re really ready. My clients learn in confidence, with the personal attention they deserve, and the flexibility to learn where and when it suits them best.
Ready to Dive In?
If you’ve been dreaming of learning to scuba dive—but want to do it your way—then let’s talk. I’ll meet you in paradise, your backyard, or anywhere in between. Just bring your curiosity, your sense of adventure, and your desire to explore a whole new world underwater.
Because learning to dive should be as extraordinary as the places you’ll explore.
