Hi, I’m Dean
a dedicated PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor who brings passion, experience, and a deep commitment to ocean stewardship to every dive.
With over 25 years of diving experience and a 30-year military background, I have combined my discipline and love for the underwater world to provide professional and eco-conscious scuba instruction. Although based on Vancouver Island, I currently work in warm water oceans and am available for dive instruction and services worldwide.
My qualifications include certifications as a PADI Scuba Diver and PADI Open Water Diver instructor, along with expertise in Enriched Air Nitrox and emergency response preparedness.
I offer comprehensive instruction, including courses focused on essential life-saving skills like Emergency First Response/CPR/AED and Emergency Oxygen Provider training. My goal is to help divers of all levels build their skills while fostering a deep respect for ocean conservation. By sharing my expertise globally, I hope to inspire a community of divers who appreciate and actively protect our underwater world for future generations.
