Has it been a while since you have been diving? Do you want to improve buoyancy or increase the length of your dives?
I’ve been coaching divers for a long time.
Everyone can benefit from sharpening their dive skills—no matter their level. Maybe you're preparing for a dive holiday or just want to boost your confidence underwater. We’re here to help you feel completely comfortable and capable.
To start, we’ll do a relaxed dive together. During this checkout dive, I’ll observe and support you with any skills that seem challenging. Think of it as a no-pressure opportunity to tune up and get back into the flow.
There are no big egos here and absolutely no negativity—just patient, supportive guidance. Our goal is to help you overcome anxiety and refine the skills you need to enjoy every dive. Being safety conscious and with confidence.
Struggling with compass use underwater? Or deploying a DSMB?
You're not alone—these are common challenges we see with divers all over the world.
What about dialing in your gear for perfect trim? With the right weight distribution and setup, you can arrive at your dive holiday knowing that when you step off the boat, your equipment is fine-tuned and your skills are sharp.
Whether it’s improving your buoyancy, mastering navigation, or just getting more confident with your gear, we’re here to help you become a better, more comfortable diver. Even if it’s just a relaxing refresher dive to shake off the rust—we’ve got you covered.
Check out our reviews — everyone comes out of this a better diver!
If you have kids aged 10 or older who want to experience scuba diving, and you have a 4-5' deep in ground pool, I can come to your home and provide all the gear needed for the PADI Discover Scuba Diving class. It's a safe, fun, and unforgettable way to introduce them to the underwater world!
Let’s get you diving better, safer, and with more confidence.

PADI, SDI & SSI open water dive certification made easy with personal instruction.
Here is a typical layout of the way Open Water scuba certification works. I only teach private classes no mixed groups of people. Children under 15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
1) Go to the PADI website and build a profile on their site. ( for every diver)
2) Select the open water diver course. I do not buy resell this course like a dive shop. This is something you can purchase direct with PADI.
Complete the eLearning course which typically takes 6-10 hours. Lots of variables with this to complete it depending upon your focus to get it done. Don't forget your Photo needs to be added to the profile. Your certification cannot be completed with out a photo.
3) Contact me when complete with the registration number on your eLearning form in the upper right corner. Its a very long alpha numeric string. I can pull your class records for the eLearning and we can schedule the pool.
4) The pool portion of the class. I typically provide the dive gear for the pool. This part of the training is where you actually learn to dive. All skills are taught in the pool. There are 28 pool skills . Depending on how comfortable you are we could complete this in one day. On average its probably 2 days with a longer 6 hour day 1, and a shorter 2 hour day for day 2. Quite often with people very comfortabe in the water its completed in a single day.
5) Open water check out dives are the final step. Many of the pool skills are not repeated in the open water portion. This portion requires a 20' depth. There are 4 segments or "dives" in this final stage. Only 3 training dives are allowed per day. This requires a 2 day schedule.
The first 3 segments consist of your demonstrating the pool skills you learned now in the open water setting. The final segment is a tour of the dive site while we evaluate the skills you learned. This dive will be 20-30 min long and have dives that go down to approximately 40 feet but not deeper than 50 feet . After this dive we have a debriefing on shore at the end to suggest corrections or more practice to master the more challenging skills.
Equipment needed.
Typical requirements are Mask Fins and a Snorkel. I can provide these for the pool. However you must have dive boots for the fins. We can discuss gear before the pool class Starts.
To cover the basics on this:
1) eLearning,
2) Pool,
3) open water.
6-10 hours academic portion
6-8 hours pool portion
5-7 hours open water portion
Accomadations are fantastic and affordable
All gear is available at dive resorts. The resorts or your local dive shops are fully stocked with rental equipment. The dive shops are typically capable of any service needed.
This does not have to be only for new open water divers. We can instruct you on plenty of additional PADI, SDI-TDI or SSI certifications Night diving, boat diving, navigation, etc.
We have traveled and visited many dive sites around the tropical regions of the world. Many of them are our favorite locations for completing new diver certification. Add to that some have the easiest reefs with a few having wrecks to dive from shore. Email us at jjhack@earthlink.net or Text me at 509 540 5723 for personal communication and questions.
