Embark on a potentially life-changing journey with our PADI Open Water Diver training experience—a decision that profoundly impacted my own personal life.
Certifying as a scuba diver opens doors to an enchanting underwater world, from local St Lawrence wrecks to vibrant southern coral reefs and marine life. It equips you with the skills and knowledge to dive safely, boosting confidence and enjoyment in the water. Beyond personal growth, scuba certification nurtures environmental responsibility, fostering marine conservation and awareness. It's not just a certification; it's an invitation to join a global community of passionate diving enthusiasts.
 

My Background

Over the past 5 years, I've immersed myself in the realms of Recreational, Technical, and Cave diving, with the majority of my dive time spent learning to dive in the St Lawrence River. Recognizing the unparalleled learning opportunities, practice, and diving experiences it offered, I found my ideal dive environment.

I've dedicated myself to learning and diving in our world class diving playground St Lawrence river, fortunate to have been mentored / taught by some of the best divers and instructors "Dive Wizards" around. I blend their invaluable teachings on dive safety, meticulous dive planning, and a sense of diving responsibility across Recreational, Technical, and Cave diving disciplines with my own extensive diving experience. This combination forms the ethos of 613DIVE, a space where passion meets expertise, creating an environment dedicated to safe, responsible, and fun diving experiences.

 

613DIVE now exists to offer all of the above in a private training experience that is focused on smaller class sizes, including personalized one-on-one sessions  Maximizizing your learning experience.

This journey is your gateway to developing a robust foundation of core diving skills, preparing you to confidently navigate open waters.

It all starts with a coffee :)
