to teach others how to safely enjoy this amazing sport that I love so much." His diving
experience extends beyond that of the classroom, pool and open water having worked
for many years with adaptive scuba diving groups and disable veteran programs.

Scott has been fortunate to travel the world in his scuba adventures and has lots of
great tips and trip planning experience for divers of all levels.
When not diving in the waters of Minnesota and Wisconsin you’ll find Scott enjoying the warm waters somewhere in Caribbean, his favorite spot being Cozumel where he has served as a
