Hi: I'm Craig Gillespie, the director of The Scuba Schools Group. All of the Scuba Schools facilities
and staff are dedicated to making your dive training easy and fun.
I have personally been working in dive training since 1972. Over the years I've had the pleasure to
live and work in such diverse diving locations as The Great Barrier Reef in Australia, Hawaii, Japan and all up and down the
west coast of North America, from Canada to the Sea of Cortez. Over the years I've assisted over 21,000 divers with their
dive training. I've had the distinct honor to assist many of them to go on to become diving professionals, who in turn help
others discover the adventure that is diving. I know that your diving safety and enjoyment depends on the efforts we put in
to make sure you are properly trained, and ready to go diving. I'm proud of what we do. In fact, there is absolutely nothing
I could have done over the last 30+ years, that would have brought me more pleasure and reward, than to spend that time
assisting you discover the paradise that awaits beneath the surface of this planet's seas.
Our instructional staff are all professionally trained and certified diving instructors. Every one
of our instructors has been through weeks of intensive instructor training. Along with being some of the best divers in the
world, our staff have also had extensive training in educational theory and philosophy, curriculum development and learning
theories, water safety, diving safety and environmental education. In an effort to be prepared for any eventuality, all of
our instructors have been trained in water rescues, CPR and First Aid. The majority of them in fact, have completed training
and hold certifications as CPR/First Aid Instructors.
At Scuba Schools our mission is to provide you with the safest, most up to date diver training available.
All of our instructors and staff are dedicated to making your dive training a memorable experience. Our Instructors average
over 20 years of diving experience. They have lived and worked in some of the worlds premier diving destinations and bring
an incomparable level of experience and professionalism to all of Scuba Schools diver training programs. If you're looking
for the most professional, up-to-date program of diving instruction available, you need look no further.
I promise you, all of us in The Scuba Schools Group will do our best to make your diving experiences
safe, enjoyable and successful.
Give us a call today and enjoy the adventure that is Scuba Diving!
