The School of Professional Development: Building a career the right way.

A Message From the Director

You should also understand that Dive USA is no "cookie cutter" instructor school. It is true that we offer ostensibly the same courses as other schools such as our Rescue, Divemaster, Pro I (IDC), and Pro II (Advanced Instructor). However these courses are different. Our mission isn't to put you through a standardized course as quickly as possible so you can get a card that says "PADI Instructor." At Dive USA you'll learn that becoming a scuba instructor means more than just passing a test. And yes, you'll work a little harder and a little longer than if you go somewhere else. But here, you'll also learn what you really need to know to succeed in a very tough and competitive field and we'll help you start preparing at home with our Home Study Manual. We'll also give you the time you need to adsorb what we teach you, enough time to rest, and the time to apply what you've learned to real-world circumstances.

The quality of our faculty is another reason I'd like you to consider Dive USA. Here, you'll be taught by seasoned experts, not neophytes or amateurs who merely dabble in the diving industry as a hobby. Our credo is: "To become a professional, you must learn from professionals." We earn our living in diver education. What we do here isnÕt a side-line to selling equipment in a store or running a dive resort. We are a school and we teach diving!

I sincerely hope that when it comes time to make such an important decision as to where to begin your career, you'll chose us. I believe that anything in life that's worth doing is worth doing right. If you agree, then there really is no other choice but Dive USA.

Safe Diving,

Alex Brylske, Director
