ScubAmerica is ALL ABOUT enabling people to enjoy and experience the amazing underwater world. To fulfill this mission, we provide thorough instruction for kids and adults from entry-level NAUI Open Water Diver to Advanced Diver. We are also proud to offer specialty training and certification in Rescue Diver, Diver First Aid, and others.

Then, we like to take them diving to beautiful diving locations in order to provide our divers with lifelong memories and the desire to experience more. We encourage divers to be lifetime learners pertaining to the Adventure Sport of Scuba Diving, and we provide continuing education and experiences to enable them to learn and dive safely.

Along with EXCELLENCE of instruction, we emphasize the FUN of Scuba Diving and the THRILL of seeing amazing things. Dennis Catron in South Florida and Ken McCracken in Colorado and South Carolina work closely during courses and trips to fulfill this mission.

Dennis has experience teaching both adults and kids. He is a professional diver providing underwater services throughout southern Florida. He was trained by Ken in 1982, and has been a NAUI instructor for over 40 years. He provides diving and sailing instruction on our trips and reef and wreck diving for small groups aboard his dive boat SURFACE INTERVAL.

Ken has been an active scuba instructor since 1976 and has taught diving at all levels to thousands of students. He is an active paramedic and a retired member of the dive and marine response team for a busy metropolitan fire department in Virginia. As a teacher alongside the Rappahannock River before moving to Colorado, he taught scuba diving and coached sailing.

Both Ken and Dennis are passionate about diving and showing people that the underwater environment is full of wonder, and they provide memorable adventures for well-trained divers who take care to preserve what we see underwater.
