My Background

Scuba Diving Lessons in Tampa with Jim Gregory at Custom Scuba Instruction

I've been scuba diving since I was 8 years old. And, well, frankly, that means I have a lot of experience. I learned on family trips to the Caribbean. I love the reefs & the critters, the colors & discoveries.  And, I'd love to share them with you!

Whether you are just beginning or looking to advance your scuba diving skills, I can help. I'm certified to provide your initial PADI Open Water Instruction, the Advanced Open Water course (which is a sampler of 5 of the 26 Specialty certifications offered by PADI), and on up to Rescue Diver and PADI Divemaster.

A Master Scuba Diver Trainer, I'm rated to teach 14 of the PADI Specialties. Being from Florida, I haven't gotten around to Altitude or Ice Diver yet... ;-{). But, I can certify you in Night, Wreck & Deep Diving, Digital Underwater Photography, Underwater Navigation, Underwater Naturalist, Enriched Air Nitrox & more.

I can also train families & groups in CPR, Primary & Secondary Care First Aid and use of AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators).  I'm certified by DAN (Divers Alert Network) to provide instruction in handling & delivery of medical grade Oxygen as used in the rare case of a diving emergency.
