Chuck always wanted to dive since he was a kid. He loved to swim and boat and kept putting off taking scuba classes. Finally he said he just had to do it. So he enrolled in a class and began his journey into the blue. He took his open water class Over a summer and

With something called Meniere’s disease Val never even considered diving as an option until she met her husband Chuck, an avid diver and instructor. Chuck slowly and with great patience took Val through her DSD class, OW, and AOW classes, and the rest is history. Today Val is a Divemaster; her single most defining moment was when she could navigate Bainbridge Quarry with a group of students and not get lost! Val really enjoys assisting the instructors in working with new divers, her favorite class though, is the AOW, but watch out Val always plays Tic Tac Toe to win!
