Our History
   
Kathy's Scuba, Inc. is a PADI 5 Star facility. We have been training divers since 1983. PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) is the world's largest and most popular diver training organization with local offices, instructors and dive centers in more than 90 countries.

Kathy's Scuba's goal, shared by PADI, is to promote the training and education of the general public in the techniques of safely participating in underwater activities. Kathy's Scuba uses PADI established standards for the training and certification of divers. Our method of instruction is based on progressive training in the classroom, pool and open water.
