Congratulations to the newly certified PADI Divemasters here at Scuba Shack. For some, it was a long journey – as long as five years – but dive training just takes some time due to other life commitments!
A well deserved pat on the back to Fran Falanga, Paul Costanz, Jeff Kezeria and Erin Arai! Congrats … and maybe we’ll see you at the next IDC!
Last year, nine divers took Scuba Shack up on the offer to enroll in the special Black Card program and these four have completed training and the other divers are in the process of completing the program. If you’re interested in joining the professional divers at Scuba Shack, check out our 2010 Black Card Education Program that can save you more than $1,000 on your training.

Along with offering a variety of Divers Alert Network (DAN) training programs, Scuba Shack is also a DAN Business Partner in support of their mission. As a non-profit medical and research organization, DAN’s staff is dedicated to the safety of scuba divers around the world.
DAN provides the only 24 hour a day, 365 day a year emergency hot-line to help local authorities coordinate life-saving services for injured divers. The organization moved from providing only emergency and research services into training about 10 years ago and many of the Scuba Shack instructors teach popular programs including Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Injuries, First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries, AED Use for Aquatic Emergencies, and On-Site Neurological Assessment for Divers among other programs.
Along with enrolling in the excellent training programs, Scuba Shack’s staff suggests that you become a DAN member yourself in support of their mission. Along with excellent member benefits, you can select from three valuable diving insurance programs. DAN also offers trip cancellation insurance which is a strongly suggested option for all those on Scuba Shack group trips.
If you have any questions about DAN’s insurance programs or training classes, stop by Scuba Shack today and our staff will provide you with additional information.
Scuba Shack's philosophy is unique and different from the industry's norm. It really is about an evolution in recreational diver training and we are committed to providing the highest quality training, equipment and services available. This Web site is a tool to inform you of what is available from us, but we are convinced the Internet is not the place to receive diver training. Stop by, give us some of your time and we'll explain the difference, then you decide.
