Beneath the Surface

These aren't your typical crowded certification courses where you're just another face in the group. With a maximum capacity of just one student, you'll get Ray's undivided attention throughout your entire learning journey. The intimate setting means you can ask as many questions as you want, practice skills until you're comfortable, and move through the curriculum without feeling pressured to keep up with others or held back by slower learners. Ray's been teaching divers for years and knows exactly how to adapt his teaching style to match your learning preferences. Some folks are visual learners who need to see demonstrations multiple times, while others are hands-on types who want to jump right into the gear. Whatever your style, Ray's got you covered. The class structure is flexible enough to accommodate your schedule and learning speed, making this a stress-free way to earn your certification or improve existing skills.

Dive Brief & Gear Info

Your scuba education starts with the fundamentals – understanding how your life support system works underwater. Ray will walk you through every piece of equipment, from your regulator and BCD to your mask and fins. You'll learn how to properly inspect gear before each dive, perform safety checks, and troubleshoot common issues that might pop up underwater. The beauty of one-on-one instruction means you'll get hands-on time with every piece of equipment rather than watching someone else demonstrate while you wait your turn. Ray covers essential skills like mask clearing, regulator recovery, and buoyancy control in a methodical way that builds your confidence step by step. You'll practice emergency procedures until they become second nature, including sharing air with a buddy, controlled emergency swimming ascents, and handling equipment malfunctions. The confined water sessions happen in a controlled environment where you can focus on perfecting your technique without worrying about currents, marine life, or other distractions. Once you've mastered the basics, you'll progress to open water dives where you'll apply everything you've learned in real diving conditions.

Target Species

While the focus of these classes is on building your diving skills rather than marine life encounters, you'll likely cross paths with some fascinating underwater residents during your training dives. Local reef fish are abundant year-round and make excellent subjects for practicing your underwater photography skills once you've mastered basic diving techniques. These colorful characters are typically curious about divers and will often approach closely, giving you great opportunities to observe their behavior and practice maintaining neutral buoyancy while watching wildlife. Angelfish and butterflyfish are particularly photogenic and tend to be active during the day when most training dives occur. Sea turtles are another highlight that new divers absolutely love encountering. These gentle giants move slowly and predictably, making them perfect for practicing your finning techniques and buoyancy control as you follow them at a respectful distance. Green sea turtles are most commonly spotted during morning dives when they're actively feeding on algae and seagrass. Their calm demeanor helps nervous new divers relax and remember that they're visitors in this underwater world. Rays are always a crowd favorite and particularly fitting given your instructor's name. These graceful creatures glide effortlessly across sandy bottoms and are most active during early morning and late afternoon periods. Southern stingrays are harmless when given proper space and provide excellent opportunities for new divers to practice proper underwater positioning and movement. Watching a ray gracefully navigate the reef helps students understand how efficient movement underwater should look and feel.
