This WORKSHOP is about the development of FUNDAMENTAL SCUBA SKILLS

  ( We have no interest in improving your title, your status , your card count or your equipment collection! )

Your personal attitude and aptitude  toward Learning & Skills Improvement
         IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY CREDENTIALS

If you show up without the desire to learn, you waste our time and your money.  
We don't just want your dollars.
We want you to have something to show for your investment .
Not another C-CARD.
Not another credential that you may or may not be able to live up to.
We aren't selling credentials we are selling success.
We want your new skills to be so obvious that others will ask how you got them.
We want to showcase your success.........................................  YOUR SKILLS!

We will post OPEN TRIPS on this website. OPEN TRIPS, as the name suggests, will be open to all comers but are subject to some common sense restrictions. We cannot run a workshop for one or two people.....well we can but at a cost that is beyond most budgets. Six to fourteen people is a more reasonable size. We will handle this with modest deposits and a cut off date. If we find that we don't have sufficient enrollment by the cut off date, we will refund the deposits in full. Cut off dates will be at least 60 days prior to travel to allow enough time, for participants, to explore suitable flights. This will allow travelers to use frequent flyer miles or otherwise customize their air travel. Hotel (double occupancy) and diving are included in the workshop price. Meals and beverages are not included but we can guide you through a tour of reliable eateries. An optional 8th night and cenote tour can be arranged to take place after the workshop, for an additional fee.

We have believed for some time that "teaching" is a word that has an "in your face"  connotation. Perhaps that explains why a lot of learning never takes place. We like the term "mentor" better. Maybe a mentor is more personal or , at least, more sympathetic.
As for why more learning has not taken place as far as fundamental dive skills we can offer only a few assumptions. Individuals at the top of the pyramid are , perhaps, unwilling or unable to demonstrate excellence. Perhaps they feel it is not in their best interest to reveal their secrets. Perhaps they have few to reveal. We can only promise to show you our best and to be a mentor. The learning is up to you but we may be able to show you what and how to practice.

Diving for a lot of years and/or diving often are not credentials.

How you look underwater should be your credentials!

Perfecting "bad habits" doesn't count !
