| WE MENTOR the kind of Buoyancy Skills & the
kind of Kick that you need to have on the first day of a CAVE DIVING
CLASS. NOT PP SKILLS....
NOT the skills that many or most **** open water instructors....SHOW UP WITH ON THAT DAY!

WE ARE BUOYANCY CONTROL
EXPERTS!
We are more than
just rhetoric! More even than our own rhetoric!
We can "walk
that walk"!
We'll show you how to be more than just another tourist with a C-CARD in your pocket and guide you toward becoming the DIVER that you've always wanted to be. |
 IINCREASE YOUR COMFORT LEVEL USE LESS GAS ~ REALIZE LONGER DIVE TIMES |
| STOP |
doing
the same
dive...."over and over"
in the
same way, ....discover what to practice and improve on every dive! |
 "LOOK....NO HANDS!" Has always been our motto.... BECAUSE : SCULLING betrays: SUBSTANDARD DIVE SKILLS "NEVER SCULLING" defines: GOOD BUOYANCY CONTROL! |
< LEARN TO
Your
skills are what
define you as a diver.
Not your equipment. No equipment regardless of price can make up for substandard skills. The best BCD is your lungs, your most valuable tool is your brain! Hands are needed for other tasks not as aids for steering or propulsion. STOP telling everyone what you don’t know with useless hand signals. STOP
SCULLING |
| STOP | kicking sand in everyone's face! |

FROG KICK IS BETTER BECAUSE:
It doesn't
cause silting when used close to the bottom and It
reduces fatigue and
extends dive
time by not
employing the large , oxygen
hungry, muscles of
the upper leg. It
also does not promote
rolling from side
to side as the diver moves forward.
SOME
FINS ARE NOT SUITED TO FROG KICKING
Some fins only provide an example of how
wrong, and often expensive, equipment choices may sometimes
actually retard
skill development or improvement. DON'T FALL
VICTIM TO DIVE INDUSTRY FADS!
"Split
fins are a poor choice for frog kicking!"
DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN TECH DIVER NONSENSE Jet or Rocket type fins were invented over 50 years ago, at a time when divers knew very little about buoyancy control and even less about frog kicking. Cave divers gave these fins a second chance because their weight eliminated any need to wear ankle weights. DON'T buy into the fantasy that these fins are "the best choice" or even "the only choice" for frog kicking. AND DON'T get caught wearing them "only" to be mistaken for a "tech diver". Most
any paddle fin works well for FROG KICK.

 THINK! Use that valuable tool ( your brain ) when you DIVE ......and when you $hop! |
|
SO
FAR.....have you been learning to be a diver or A CUSTOMER???
|
| STOP |
Learning to be a "cash cow" and start learning to be a: DIVER!!! |
|
IF you came here looking to learn "advanced nitrox" or perhaps "technical nitrox", you're in the
wrong place..
We won't help you to learn "deep tech diving " where you wear
lots of tanks "on both sides"
and kneel on the bottom, like a beginner.
We
don't disapprove of sidemount diving in a cave but do not like "open
water sidemount" which we think is a "dress up and pretend" course that
is good for the instructor's wallet but only plays to the student's
ego. SO we just say no to "Open
Water SIDEMOUNT".
We wont take you to "swim with bull sharks" either.. WE WILL: help you re-visit "FIRST BASE" if you have a desire to excel at a dive skill that most others have ignored. John
had "high end" buoyancy skills before he showed up for his cave course.
Both he and Maureen had perfected their fundamental SCUBA skills before
attending their instructor
training.
THAT'S
WHAT IS WRONG: almost everyone else fails to do that....BECAUSE of EGO! We think that "almost every diver" is looking for
some glorious conquest to
call their own. No one wants to perfect their fundamental SCUBA
skills....FIRST!
You can do any
and all of the things listed above "and more" if you have enough $$$$. And don't worry...no one will require you to
have good buoyancy.
EXCEPTIONAL Buoyancy
Control SKILLS
Are your
responsibility....
"NOBODY ELSE
CARES IF YOU HAVE THEM!"

  One way to learn about better Buoyancy Control is to meet us in: MEXICO |
| "FUNDAMENTAL SCUBA SKILLS ARE NOT [ JUST FOR & ABOUT ] TECHNICAL DIVERS!" |
|
One
training entity compares their course [ in minutes of underwater/bottom
time ] to that of another agency that [ they say ] includes only about
an hour of actual bottom time as part of the entry level SCUBA Class .
They further claim that their own beginner
program includes buoyancy training that is sufficient to eliminate any
need for a remedial buoyancy course. They claim to offer training
[ in low 3 figures ] when measured in minutes of bottom time.
WE OFFER “ONLY” REMEDIAL BUOYANCY TRAINING
The
Cozumel Dive Operator that we employ for our workshops allows his
clients to dive the limits of their gas and computers [ within
recreational depth limits ]. We promise to
show you how to optimize that opportunity. Our participants probably
average 50-55 minutes per dive with some doing as much as 80 minutes by
the last day of diving.
OUR 13 DIVES
= [ ABOUT 650+ minutes ] of dive time devoted to "ONLY" SCUBA Fundamentals.
"IS THAT TOO MUCH?"
|
| WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE
OPERATORS ON COZUMEL WHO OFFER BIGGER TANKS FOR "AIR HOGS"! We promise our divers that their times
will improve using 80 cu. ft. aluminum tanks

RECREATIONAL SCUBA
DIVING IS A BUSINESS

that does not really need to have "GOOD DIVERS"! )
A
business that only needs "CUSTOMERS"
who can meet the "MINIMUM"
