TRY TO IMAGINE
A world in which 199
out of every 200 persons stumbled around like toddlers or drunks.
NOW YOU
KNOW....
...how
the aquatic world looks to the less than one half of one percent of
divers who have excellent Buoyancy Control Skills. |

WE ARE
INSTRUCTORS. WE DON'T DISPLAY AGENCY ACRONYMS OR INSTRUCTOR
NUMBERS BECAUSE:
We want you to judge us and choose us by
how we look underwater in, video, rather than in still photos.
"WE ARE A PART OF THAT
LESS THAN ONE HALF OF ONE PERCENT!"

MAUREEN MILLER
Maureen didn't even want to be a diver prior to 1998. Since 2003 she has been an instructor. She is a dive professional who can really look the part. Maureen is one of a small group of students and colleagues who saw wisdom in the "NO HANDS" Philosophy that John promotes. She embraced these methods and is an outstanding example of what a diver can and should look like. Her frog kick is remarkable. She is a patient instructor who has made a world of difference for more than one apprehensive student. Although not known for being bold and pushing the so called envelope, she has , on numerous occasions, handled "the unexpected" with composure. Her impressive buoyancy skills serve her well as an amateur underwater photographer. Many of her humble efforts grace our web pages and galleries. Maureen is an example of what BuoyancyQuest is about.
It
is not about "machismo" but about "finesse"
not about
"tech talk" but about "tech diver worthy"....
ULTIMATE
BUOYANCY CONTROL SKILLS!

JOHN NOFTALL
John is the founder of BuoyancyQuest. He is considered , by some, to be a Buoyancy Control Guru. Buoyancy skills are what have always distinguished him from his peers as an instructor or a cave diver and they continue to be the focus of the mentoring that he provides. He believes in keeping the skills that he offers within the scope of what he does best. John worked at a local dive center for 9 years and certified almost 600 divers. John has been an NACD "full cave" certified diver since 1995 and began adapting some of the Hogarthian concepts to open water diving at once. He is most proud of the mentoring that he has provided while leading group travel to Mexico. His emphasis on fundamentals including frog kick and exceptional buoyancy skills has resulted in more than a few divers who signed up for a trip with the hope of having "FUN" returning home with a bonus they had never expected. Now he tries to make that bonus into the promise to and expectation of all who attend the workshops. |
