Free 3 Part Video Series For Beginner Divers

Do you go through your air too quickly?

Do you feel like a yo-yo underwater?

Are you nervous and/or anxious when you get on that dive boat?

I know I answered a resounding “yes” to these questions when I first started diving. I was always worried about something going wrong during the dive or looking like the “newbie” in front of the other divers.

I didn’t want to be the one that couldn’t descend, had little control over buoyancy or had to cut the dive short because I ran out of air. And I certainly didn’t want to get the dreaded “bends”.

There was so much to remember and work on, it was a bit overwhelming. Why did some divers seem so calm, cool and collected? How did they know what to do in all situations? And how did they seem to move through the water without any effort?

All reasonable questions. Since I remember what it was like and I want to help you get past that point quickly, I have put together a free 3 part video training series for beginner divers. It is straight forward user-friendly series full of tips, tricks and techniques that will help you become a safer, more confident and more skilled diver on your very next dive.

If you follow the simple steps in this series, you too will soon be acting and, more importantly, FEELING like the seasoned divers you meet on the dive boats. No one will know that you don’t have 500 dives under your (weight)belt!

So let's get diving! Click on the link below to get started.
