With Your Own Dedicated Master Scuba Instructor
The way the world learns to dive
With my program I offer the Ideal Premium Training and Diving Experience.
Tailored private or semi-private sessions, (which I call micro-teaching) provides my diving clients with an outstanding environment to develop scuba skills at their own pace, ensuring comfort and confidence every step of the way.
My students have told me the personalized scuba training approach that I provide, greatly increased their learning retention, maximized scuba development, self-assurance and was a lot of FUN!
Michele Sealey, influencer and podcaster with Amazing Places Podcast, tracks down Larry Wedgewood, scuba diving on Vancouver Island. Listen to what they talked about below.
Learning to scuba dive is an exhilarating, epic journey into the aquatic environment of oceans, lakes and even rivers, but it can also be a bit daunting for many beginners, which is why I utilize my micro-teaching approach.
I will take you on a fun filled journey through the learning process, from knowledge development, through pool diving at Grant MacEwan University Sports and Wellness Centre, to open water dives locally in Alberta, or abroad in a tropical destination like Belize.
As well I offer referral documentation to complete your open water dives around the world if you already have plans.
Before you start your dive travel adventures to any number of fantastic tropical destinations, why don't you save time and money by starting your scuba training right here, at home in Edmonton.
Complete your knowledge and pool training on your own schedule with personalized attention, and ample time to develop skills, practice diving, get comfortable and be confident.
Once you have completed your knowledge and pool training you will be ready to do your 4 open water dives. I will issue you your referral documentation for you to complete your open water dives abroad, and achieve your PADI Open Water Certification. (or join me on one of my dive trips or local excursions)

Take your scuba diving lessons in Edmonton, from the dive industry's highest level Scuba Diving Instructor with decades of experience and thousands of dives from all over the world, who is focused on individualized service, safety, diver education, and skill development, integrated into a fun, positive experience.
I began my scuba diving career in 1987 when I took my PADI Open Water Course in Victoria BC. At that time I didn't know that Scuba Diving would change the course of my life and lead me on to a professional career as a scuba diving instructor, dive shop owner, and an extraordinary life of love, travel and adventure that I couldn't have imagined.
