What Is The Hardest Thing About Being A Scuba Instructor?

March 1, 2010 by ·

So You Might Be Surprized To Know What
The Hardest Thing About Being An
SDI Scuba Instructor.

By most peoples standards you probably think I have a great job and for the most part I do.

There are many things that go on behind the scenes in getting ready to conduct and deliver a scuba diving experience in a positive, fun and safe way. But, I am here to talk about the not so fun parts.

Many people have stated to me that teaching a moron to scuba dive would be my most challenging incident. Another guess would be not passing someone in the Scuba course. Well, it is neither one of those things you might think.

By far the hardest the thing about my job is to say good bye to my clients when you leave me. Seriously. Many of you, if not most of you, we had several great dives together as well as memorable pre and post diving events.

There is something about being a divebuddy and Scuba Diving with someone that makes an automatic positive connection. Maybe it’s the common bond of the love of the ocean.

Maybe it was the great conversations on board the boat where it is said, “Everything that happens or said at sea, stays at sea.” A well known quote. Scuba diving has bonded us together whether you know it or not.

One couple I went to dinner with after diving, she actually sang a song with the band that was playing there, impromptu. She rocked the house. And she, like many others I have never seen again.Seriously. I want you to come back to Florida and visit me. There are so many more dive locations we have to explore, indulge and savor the seas together.

For those of you that I have yet to meet, I look forward to diving with you and enjoying the adventure and indulging in scuba diving under the ocean as many times as you want.

Scuba Diving is easier than you think.  I am always happy to answer any questions about any aspect of diving that you might have that you have always wanted to ask.  Email me or phone me.

PADI Open Water Certification Discover Scuba Diving

January 12, 2010 by ·

Would You Be Willing To Try Scuba Diving And Discover For Yourself Why 99% Of People Who Scuba Dive Rant And Rave About It Quickley Becoming Fanatics Even If You Are Not A Good Swimmer.

Do I have to be a good swimmer to Scuba Dive? 
The answer is no because “good” swimmer is a subjective term. In addition, we put fins on your feet which will make any weak swimmer stronger.

Think about it… even if your face goes under the water you are fine. In Scuba Diving we carry our air with us and it’s delivered straight into our mouth whether we are on the surface or far below it with the regulator hose.

Not only that, but your Scuba Instructor, Laura Parke, is one of only a few instructors in the world that is a Swimming Instructor. This means that she can correct your technique and help you make the most of your efforts so that you can glide through the water without becoming exhausted.  She can correct your swimming or polish your technique, what ever the case might be. You are guaranteed to have a good experience under the water or you will get your money back.

Illustrated below is a Real Time Client Profile:

Fritz Rocourt, Electrician New York.
Fritz came to Ft.Lauderdale in 2008, with a little trepidation about scuba because he did not feel his swimming was up to par. After a long conversation on the phone about his swimming style he agree to go for it. After all, offer a money back guarantee, what did he have to lose? Fritz came down from New York and we trained together for a few days in the pool and ocean. The he completed his Open Water Certification with flying colors.
This year, in November, Fritz returned to continue his dive training. We did six dives together around the Palm Beach area including the Blue Heron Bridge. At the end of his six dives he was able to steady a camera and take pictures without silting out the bottom. His buoyancy improved dramatically with real time Scuba Diving in the water. That is the key- you have to get in the water to practice being in the water! Fritz’s new skill mastery is a really big deal. Remember, he had started out with a sense of unease. Now, one year later, he has returned to South Florida and continued his training and he has the pictures to prove it. Way to go, Fritz!
