If you are in Annapolis, Severna Park, Glen Burnie, Crofton, Edgewater, or anywhere in Anne Arundel County, you are well within range. I regularly work with students from across the county who want calm, structured scuba training.
The goal is not to rush you through certification. The goal is comfort, control, and real skill development so you leave training feeling capable and prepared.
How certification works
- Knowledge: Learn the concepts and standards so the skills make sense.
- Pool sessions: Build comfort, buoyancy, and problem-solving in controlled water.
- Open water checkout dives: Demonstrate skills in open water and earn certification.
Pool sessions are scheduled based on class structure and availability. Some classes run on fixed dates. Others offer flexibility. You can review options before committing.

Training logistics
Students from Anne Arundel County typically complete pool sessions at regional facilities based on season and scheduling. Open water checkout dives are conducted at approved training sites appropriate for certification.
The focus is structured progression and skill development, not simply checking boxes.
Required personal gear
For initial open water certification training, students provide the following minimum personal gear:
- Mask
- Snorkel
- Fins
- Boots
If you need help selecting properly fitting gear, I will guide you. No unnecessary upsells.
Who this is for
- New divers who want patient, structured instruction
- Adults who prefer small-group learning
- Nervous beginners who want calm coaching
- Divers who care about buoyancy and real control
