I have been working with students in Maryland since 2022 with excellent results. My focus is on core competencies in the water and independence from the very first time we get in the pool. This teaches my students excellent buoyancy and how to take care of themselves when they’re out diving in the world.

My current focus is on private lessons or groups. I have worked at several shops and my favorite by far are the ones that are run for the love of diving, and with profit at the front of the mind. I share the philosophy that we should be teaching and diving for the love of the sport and taking our time, rather than rushing through skills. If you truly want to learn to dive I will make that happen. If you have been left behind somewhere else because you had trouble with a few skills I will work with you and we will fix that.

I’m very flexible. Because I’m not working off of a fixed schedule we can create a plan that works for you. Whether that’s a shorter timeline where you just want to do knowledge and pool skills before you head down the Caribbean to finish the class or you want to do everything local we can make a plan that works for you and your budget.

If you have a pool that meets the requirements of the class we can do all of the knowledge and pool work at your home.
