“I have always been super interested in the marine environment and the exploration of it. Recently, I decided that I wanted to receive my SCUBA certification. I went through Lynnhaven Dive Center, and after two long weeks of training and traveling to a SCUBA lake in northern Virginia, I received my Scuba Schools International (SSI) certification. It was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had, and it is going to make such a difference in the future, with my career path plans. I am currently pursuing multiple specialty certifications and working my way towards being a dive guide. I would definitely recommend SCUBA to anyone interested in exploration, water or marine life.”
