Mike's Scuba Clinics

Mike’s Scuba Clinics Scuba is a sport, right? To play sports really well you must practice, right? When was the last time you “practiced” your sport of Scuba Diving? You’ve probably never “practiced” Scuba Diving. Over 75 percent of divers including “Advanced” divers have never practiced their skills since their Open Water class. Every professional athlete practices for hours every day so when game day comes they can perform to near perfection. So should we. When your next dive comes wouldn’t it be nice to gear up, giant stride into the ocean, and enjoy the other 75 percent of the Earth without worry or incident. I have put together an ongoing series of Scuba Clinics that will enable you to perfect your diving skills and knowledge. My Scuba Clinics will be held twice a week and will last for about 2 hours. They are open to any diver at any level. The Scuba Clinics will start off simple and progressively get more difficult as the weeks go by. We will cover everything from proper mask fit to being able to turn 360 degrees while horizontally hovering in the middle of the water column. Of course there will be games to help you master the skills. I will behaving a Scuba Clinic Challenge. To complete the Scuba Clinic Challenge you must complete and master all 20 different pool skills. Anyone who completes the challenge will receive a Columbia all weather jacket with your name embroidered and a certificate of completion.
