About Keith
I've been diving since 1997, and received my Dive Master in 1999.
A friend got me interested in diving; I came to Underwater World to get my advanced certification. The staff was great so I decided to go further with my certifications, getting my rescue, master scuba diver, divemaster and assistant instructor certifications.
Sharing the experience and excitement of scuba with new divers is what I like most about teaching.
Gilboa quarry is my favorite local dive site.
Top 5 recommended destinations…
- Bonaire is my favorite Caribbean destination because it's consistent. The weather is perfect, the water is flat, and the marine life is abundant and beautiful.
- Turks and Caicos for its variety of marine life both large and small
- Roatan off Honduras for its swim-throughs
- Cenotes of the Yucatan Peninsula for amazing cavern diving with unlimited visibility
- the backside of Molokini Crater in Maui for its large marine life.
PADI course most recommended…
I think Rescue Diver is the most beneficial course to take. It is a demanding but fun class.
Most important lesson for anyone…
Maintaining neutral bouyancy would be in my opinion the most important skill to perfect.
