I am an Scuba instructor using the world's leading scuba diver training organization's system, PADI. Although I had my first scuba experience around 1990 I didn't become a certified OW diver until May 1998 at Jamestown RI, USA. I became a Scuba Diving Instructor and have been teaching Open Water SCUBA since 2012, and am a PADI Staff IDC Instructor.
