The Curious Case of Safety Sam.
Our philosophy is one of mentoring students so that they are able to achieve their diving goals. Class schedules are flexible to accommodate our students busy, active lives.
Whether you want to dive to 30 feet (10 meters) or to 330 feet (100 meters), whether you want to dive in warm or in cold water, whether you want to dive on reefs or on wrecks, whether you want public safety rescue training, or scientific and research diver training: we can teach you how to get there, accomplish your goals, and more importantly how to get safely back.
We also teach diving medicine courses, including Basic Life Support (First Aid and CPR) that are helpful both above- and underwater. DAN
