Bill Powers Scuba Lessons

 

***CLASSING UP BEGINNER, ADVANCED, RESCUE, AND WRECK CLASSES NOW... AND MUCH MORE! JOIN UP AND HELP DETERMINE THE DATES!***

Get scuba certified or continue your diving education here!

Our instructor, Bill Powers, has been diving in San Diego (and around the world) for over 28 years. His teaching methods emphasize safety, skill mastery, and student comfort. When you graduate from a class you're Ready To Have Fun! *

Classes are typically small... ensuring you get more individualized attention than at local dive shops. (Private classes also available.) I will not "push you through". You'll EARN the certification from me... not be "given" it. If that's something you value I hope to see you soon.

Some of the PADI classes offered:

Open Water Scuba Diver (beginner) *** Advanced Diver
Rescue Diver *** Dive Master
Emergency First Response (CPR, AED, and first aid)
Deep *** Wreck
Navigation *** Nitrox
Drysuit *** Refresher
Search & Recovery*** Master Scuba Diver

Call or email for information on pricing and availability now!

========================================

You USUALLY will want to contact me directly about lessons. If you wait for me to post a class it will often be full (or a private class) when I post it. I offer you the flexibility of scheduling toward YOUR availability, but you have to let me know what you want. -Bill

========================================
This is not a scuba "club" or "group". It is a for-profit endeavor designed to get, and keep, scuba divers in the sport.

*Successful completion of a class indicates student is certified to dive under the same (or similar) conditions they were taught in.

Contemporary Homeschool Club

Carlsbad, CA

Contemporary Homeschool Club

We started this group originally in the North County area of San Diego and want to grow it to all of SD plus South Orange County as well to change the stigma of homeschooling just a little bit. I have met many parents who feel they have to fit into the typical mold of what society thinks a homeschooler is. Times have changed and a lot of people are finding out just how cool homeschooling their kids can be and have fun doing it. Some of the amazing families who wanted this group started are travelers, fitness buffs, CEO's, sports fanatics, professional shoppers, skaters, independent home schoolers, and surfers just to name several. Whether you're a more conventional homeschooler or just go with the flow, the one thing we all have in common is that we do it our way and give our children the best education and balanced life as possible.

We want this group to be about homeschoolers having fun, supporting & encouraging each other, and to open more social opportunities for parents and kids. Please leave the drama at home! The goal is to meet friends and establish bonds throughout the year making homeschooling the best experience we can. We like to think of ourselves as modern moms with cool kids and welcome all who want to have a fun homeschooling experience. We will be doing many different activities like play dates, field trips, park days, beach days, exercise buddies, MNO, book clubs, movies, parties, co-ops, camping, rock climbing, shopping, etc. We encourage all members to suggest and plan activities. Hope this group can open the door for lots of good times throughout the year!
