I was PADI OW certified in Maui, HI. in 1999. I’ve since grown my experience by having dived other Hawaiian Islands, extensively throughout the tropical Caribbean, the caves of Mexico, Asia, Iceland and Norweigen Fjords. Florida keys to Ice Diving Alaska, Southern California’s cool yet beautiful seascapes of he Channel islands and closer to home, freshwater diving from Geothermal heated Homestead Crater to Sand Hollow, UT. and in the Southwest’s life source, lakes Mead, Mojave and the Colorado River. This range of experience and my passion in furthering my own dive education with continuously learning and growing has allowed me to earn PADI’s highest rating of Course Director as well as PADI’s TecRec-Tec Deep Instructor, Public Safety Diver Instructor and Emergency First Response Instructor Trainer ratings. Also as a SDI / TDI Instructor I hope to share my experience, enthusiasm, and the love of diving with you. Some of the Awards Curtis has earned are listed below, including 5 time Silver Course Director.

Growing up on an island, my love for the ocean was a constant part of my life. As an adult, tropical getaways were my go-to for vacations, often spent snorkeling. The idea of learning to dive seemed too complicated until 2007 when I tried a Discover Scuba Diving program in Cozumel, Mexico. I was hooked! Back in Vegas, getting certified turned out to be much simpler than I thought.

After earning my PADI Open Water Certification, I realized how much I wanted to share this incredible experience with others. So, I became a PADI Master Instructor. Now, every day, I get to introduce people to the amazing world of scuba diving, and there’s nothing better!
