Looking for a Optima Instructor in Central Florida.

Aqua Marine · 8th April 2007, 20:55

Hello!

I am in process now of buying my 1st Rebreather and was wondering if there was an Instructor in the Orlando area that anyone could recommend. I would prefer one that could take me thru closed circuit mixed gas.

Thanks for any help!

I hear John Jones is the guy for you.

I think his website is: jpjscuba.com

Due a quick Optima search and you will run across him.

I met him last month in central Florida and he seemed like a good guy. He had a bunch of Optima students with him.

John probably has more time on the Optima than anybody alive on the planet by several times over. He was my Optima Cave instructor, and he is great.

The other guy is Bird. Search Bird's Underwater. All 3 of 'em (JPJ, Paul, Bird) are active cave divers, as well.
