PADI Courses | Red Cross Courses

I am affiliated with PODI (Pacific Offshore Divers, Inc.), which is where my scuba diving courses are taught. I also teach small private groups.

I teach CPR and other emergency medicine courses at the Red Cross training center in Mountain View. I also go to schools and organizations to teach. Qualified non-profit organizations pay only minimal costs to cover class materials.

My teaching methodology, which I have developed over the past 20 years, helps make the subject matter interesting and fun and makes it easier for students to learn and remember the material. When you get your certification from Barnacle Dive Center, you will have earned it, and you will be well-prepared to dive safely or respond to an emergency situation.

I encourage all my dive students to take a course in emergency medicine, and I offer discounts to my students who do so. Diving is a very safe sport, but being prepared for the unexpected in or out of the water makes it that much safer.
