Dive Tulsa Staff

You trust us with your safety,
you should know who we are.

The quality and fun of your experience depend on the people who teach you.

Dive Tulsa is made up of a team of very experienced, senior-level PADI instructors and assistants.

We are very experienced divers who have dived many locations around the world.
Our staff currently has 145 years of combined experience.

Our staff is made up of adventurers - who share our passion with other divers.

We teach because we love it. Although we charge for our classes, money is not why we teach.
We have unusually high instructor to student ratios, often one instructor for every two students.
We have a mix of male and female staff, this is often more comfortable for women students.

You ought to know a great deal about the experience and attitude of the people who will teach you. Below are summaries about each staff member along with a link to a detail page about each of us.

Our classes are a wonderful combination of professionalism, patience and warmth,
building our family of divers.
