MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hi! I’m Dallas, an 8-year Navy Veteran. I began my diving career in Hawaii, where I met my wife Allison. She worked at the dive shop on base and introduced to me to Scuba Diving.
I’ve always been comfortable with and drawn to the ocean. I find it to be a perfect blend of peace and adrenaline. I found myself craving the rush of free-dive spear fishing and immediately fell in love with it.
After my navy career ended, I decided I wanted to pursue a Scuba Instructor career. I love the process of improvement, and I enjoy teaching—that was my job as a lead aircraft mechanic in the navy, working on P3 Orion’s.
I graduated from a boot camp-like dive school called Hall’s, located in Marathon, FL. Fourteen weeks of everyday diving, studying, and giving presentations. It was extremely rigorous. Halls empowered me to be a phenomenal Scuba Teacher, and because of Halls, I’m well-equipped to help new divers conquer fears and overcome obstacles that can accompany learning how to dive.
With my background, knowledge, and experience, I look forward to teaching you how to Scuba Dive! I’d be honored to get Scuba Diving off your bucket list with our Open Water Course, or guide you in improving your skills with Advanced Courses.

Congratulations on achieving your Open Water Certification! You have graduated to the class of divers considered competent to engage in higher level open water diving activities such as; deep diving, low visibility/night diving, buoyancy control and navigation. Your instructor will prepare you with the skills you need and train you to completely master the techniques.
SPEARFISHING
Never pulled a trigger before but want to give it a try or start a new hobby? We will teach you! We truly enjoy watching our clients improve their abilities in a sport that takes time to get good. Most companies want nothing to do with you, but we understand that everyone has to start somewhere. We would rather you learn the proper way to Spearfish then go in it alone somewhere else. Our instruction is fantastic and will teach your gun safety, etiquette and then how to shoot legal fish. You do not need a gun as one is provided when you take a class with us. All spearfishing requires you to already have your dive certification and you must be comfortable in the water with good buoyancy. Please bring your card with you to the dock on your first outing. We only give out spear guns when you take the class.
NITROX
NAUI Nitrox Diver is a must have specialty course. This course teaches you how to dive with higher oxygen mixtures to extend bottom time and decrease surface time, among many other benefits. You will learn about equipment requirements, configuring your dive computer, and analyzing the gas in your tank.
