Welcome to all divers & students.
 I'm Tim, a PADI Scuba Instructor and Master Scuba Diver Trainer teaching Scuba lessons in Gallatin Tennessee.  I am an independent instructor. As an independent instructor I don't work for a dive shop, I don't sell dive gear and I don't setup dive trips.
Since I don't have any overhead and my expenses are small, I can pass on any savings to my students (which for some of my courses comes out to some pretty big savings). This also means that I concentrate on one thing, your diving education.
Also, you won't find a class calendar on this site - I don't schedule classes, then expect you to fit the class into your schedule. Instead, I schedule your class to best fit your schedule. That's why most of my classes may only have 1-2 students, or 3-4 students as in the case of a family class.
I currently reside just outside Nashville Tennessee, so I'm available to anybody in the Middle Tennessee or Southern Kentucky area interested in learning to Scuba dive.
I'm also a CPR/AED Instructor for American Heart Association , so if you need to be CPR/AED certified for your job, or, you just want to be prepared for your family then call or email me.
All my classes are taught according to PADI standards. I use PADI's "Dive Today" philosophy. This means that you can start your pool sessions prior to any classroom work. The academic portion is all self-study. We get together when you are ready, review the material to make sure you understand everything, then take the quizes and final test.
The pool and open water sessions are all performance based, so you complete each session as you become proficient in the skills. Most students earn their certification after only 2 pool sessions and 4 open water dives in a local quarry. You can be certified in as little as two weeks. My classes are small, typically 2-4 people, which means you'll receive "private" attention at "public" prices. The only equipment you'll need to get started is a mask, fins & snorkel. I provide everything else. Call or email me and we'll schedule your training.
