    This was one of those "bucket list" items that I really wanted to check off... Robert and his knowledgeable staff at SCUBATUDE helped me accomplish this in short order. I was fortunate enough to be connected to an incredibly talented and knowledgeable instructor, Chris Alexander, who made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I'd also like to mention Divemasters Jim and Tracey Lowrey for their keen insights and amazing skill at assisting beginning divers. I would not hesitate to recommend SCUBATUDE to anyone I know who is interested in taking up this sport.
