Clark's a tough teacher, forcing his students to learn through repetition the skills needed to be confident and competent divers. I have strict requirements. They keep doing it until I like it. And when I like it, they sure as hell are going to like it, too, because they know they're slick. Both new and advanced divers have a large selection of classes to choose from, all taught to standards established by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors.
New divers can take the open water scuba class to begin their scuba experience.
Clark cautions would-be divers about some of the quick and easy scuba certification programs, in which instructors may sacrifice diver education in the pursuit of quicker certification. Clark's class requirements may seem strict, he said, but his emphasis on learning the necessary skills gives divers the confidence they need to have safe, fun dives. They don't get out of the pool until they have the skills to perform. If they stick with me, they're going to learn to scuba. The whole program hinges on education.
