A brief introductory course to the world of SCUBA allows you to actually don Scuba equipment. The class actually consists of a brief orientation covering equipment features and safety procedures usually lasting about 1 hour. After the basics have been covered participants can dive in our pool with certified Dive Masters or Instructors to assist them. This course is highly recommended for those thinking about becoming certified and gives you a clear picture of what SCUBA entails. You will need a swimsuit and towel for this course.

Rachelle Sidwell, Open Water Scuba Instructor

Rachelle grew up in Morgan, Utah and from the time she was three she developed a great love for the ocean. Growing up, her dad called her "the fish" because she always wanted to be swimming, no matter what body of water it was. She signed up to do the open water diver class the day she turned 12 (that was the minimum age or it would've been sooner). She has been an avid diver for 23 years now and loves every minute! After spending some years working with animals at zoos and aquariums from Chicago to Logan, Utah, she decided to settle back into Logan and start her journey to teaching Scuba! She loves teaching, and also loves learning from the students every day. Give this girl a body of water, and she'll dive it!

Tina Rigdon, Open Water Scuba Instructor

Tina believes that being able to teach allows her to share her love for water. After 22+years of diving, she can't imagine her life without scuba diving, her "My liquid silence". She loves being a scuba and swimming instructor because she gets to be someone's first, time and time again, day after day, and that to her, is a very special thing. She loves being able to guide students from the initial nervousness to being confident in the water. Her favorite quote is "the sea, once it cast its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever", Jacques Yves Cousteau.
