My favorite dive location is the Philippines. The variety of life and diversity is unparalled to any other dives sites I’ve visited. But I have to admit there really isn’t a bad dive location!

I joined No Limits Scuba team to create and grow a professional training program that is unique in providing a comprehensive industry awareness. Being an instructor is more than just knowing the rule of the training manual but also developing relationships and understanding all aspects including retail, training and travel.

My favorite place to dive to date is the warm and colorful waters of Fiji; but I’ve already planned and the Red Sea and the Maldives are waiting for me! As an avid underwater photographer I enjoy a wide variety of locations and hope to capture the unique characteristics of each to share with others.

I joined No Limits Scuba because it was a welcoming community for any level of diver. Before becoming a PADI professional I found dive shops intimidating and the NLS attitude of inclusion makes all types of divers feel at home.

My favorite place to dive is Cozumel, Mexico, or anywhere in California – two totally different diving experiences, but both equally amazing.I worked in a dive shop in California until moving to AZ in 2015 and teaming up with No Limits Scuba.

I chose No Limits because everyone works as a team and they all are like-minded people. Diving is all about having fun while being safe. The staff at No Limits Scuba fully encompasses both of those aspects to make training and working with them awesome!

Open Water Scuba Instructor

Nature has always been “home” for me. I spent a great deal of my childhood exploring the national parks of Arizona and the beaches of California. My family moved to Hawaii on a whim when I was 7 years old and my experiences there are truly what set in motion my love for the ocean.

 I had the opportunity to become scuba certified in 2013 in conjunction with a school science program. From that moment on I dreamed of becoming pro. Thanks to No Limits Scuba, that dream came true!

My favorite place to dive has to be California. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had some incredible experiences diving in the Caribbean. There’s just something about the kelp forest and playful sea lions that I never tire of.

I chose to dive with No Limits Scuba because it was highly recommended to me by a friend. I’ve been hooked from the moment I stepped through NLS’s doors! I’ve had spectacular experiences traveling with the shop and have fostered some of my closest friendships. I can’t imagine my life without NLS. Come on in and dive with us. Just be careful…it’ll change your life!

Open Water Scuba Instructor
So far, my two favorite places to dive are the Cenotes in Mexico and Saba in the Dutch Caribbean.
The best part about being an instructor is that single moment when a new diver has that “ah ha” moment that makes everything click and they finally feel what it is like to effortlessly glide underwater.

An equal love for diving and helping those that want to learn more about diving is what drew me to No Limits Scuba. All dive shops love to dive, however when I walked into NLS I knew I found a group of people that loved sharing diving with others as much as I did.

Eric Wagner

IDC Staff Instructor
I am truly at home in the water and have been diving for most of my life. I love the adventure and beauty diving brings me. Diving has brought me a great deal of joy and knowledge that impacts my life in many ways. I love the opportunity to travel and see new places and make new friends. I am at home in cold water, warm water, and everything in between. Some of the places I love to dive are the Channel Islands off the coast of California as well as drift diving in Mexico.

Being able to share a passion for diving with others led me to become an instructor at No Limits Scuba. I enjoy helping students expand their abilities and overcome obstacles. I honestly learn something new about diving from students with every class I teach, a new perspective on a skill or even an easier way to perform it. I am focused on safety and providing my students the best environment to learn and enjoy the adventure of diving.

Eric Gentry

Open Water Scuba Instructor

I credit my Dad for sparking my interest in diving when I was a kid. Hearing his stories of diving in the early 1960s instilled in me a sense of adventure and love of the outdoors. I earned my open water certification in the 1990s while in college. As life events took over, I only dove intermittently. I “re-discovered” diving after moving to Arizona in 2015 and my teenage kids showed an interest in scuba diving. My wife and I took a refresher course through No Limits Scuba the same weekend our kids finished their Open Water certification. I caught the “diving bug” and decided to become a PADI professional, finding a scuba family at NLS in the process.

My favorite places to dive (so far) include the atolls of the Marshall Islands, the spectacular reefs of Cozumel, the towering kelp forests of Catalina, and the historic wrecks of the northern Red Sea. However, I am always adding more to my list.

The thing I love most about diving is that it offers a break from the hectic pace of the surface world. There is always something new to see and learn on every dive, and I enjoy sharing this amazing sport with new divers.

I chose No Limits Scuba because of the people – the staff and instructors are all top notch: putting safety first, providing excellent instruction and advice, and are always willing to share their knowledge and passion for scuba.

Josh Carter

Master Scuba Diver Trainer

I never would have guessed that a Caribbean cruise combined with a spur of the moment scuba certification in April 2015 would have led to so much! Scuba diving has allowed me to travel, see amazing places, meet fantastic people and create lasting memories. Each place has its own draw, however the Cozumel and Playa combo is one I can’t seem to beat.

I am currently working as an instructor with the goal of retiring from the corporate world. After receiving my certification and quickly becoming addicted to the underwater world, it was an easy choice to work with NLS, where the family atmosphere aides in creating safe and confident divers.

Larry Schack

Master Scuba Diver Trainer

I have been a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer since 2012 and have introduced hundreds of new divers to the sport of scuba diving.
As a Padi certified diver since 1982 I have introduced the love of diving to my family and we have enjoyed diving together around the world. My greatest thrill was the first time the whole family was able to dive at Casino Point on Catalina Island in California. Other places that scuba has taken me include, Hawaii, New Zealand, Mexico, the California coast and the Bahamas. My many adventures include diving with turtles in Hawaii, exploring fresh water caves in Mexico, swimming with whales in the Soccoro Islands and diving with sharks in the Bahamas.
Joining the No Limits Scuba team in 2017 I have been pleased to be able pass on the wonder and joy of scuba to new divers in Arizona.

Paul Matsuda

Master Scuba Diver Trainer

My favorite place for diving is Southeast Asia, where water is warm and marine life colorful and diverse. I consider Thailand my home base for diving, but I also like Indonesia, the Philippines and Okinawa. Closer to home, I love diving Cozumel and Cenotes in Mexico.

I have been working with No Limits Scuba since 2013. I love how the shop has developed a strong community of divers and dive professionals who are committed to making diving safe and enjoyable. I look forward to diving with you!

Scuter Casey

IDC Staff Instructor

My favorite place to dive in the Caribbean is Bonaire with Cozumel coming in a close second.  But the Galapagos has to be the absolute best overall… so far. The world is a big place and there are many diving destinations on my bucket list!

I became an Instructor early in 2013.  Shortly thereafter I joined the No Limits Scuba team. That was one of my best decisions.  From the staff at the shop to all the other instructors, we are one big family, helping each other out. I’ve found that I love teaching. Whether it’s an Open Water class, Advanced, Rescue, Specialties or IDC’s I enjoy it all! I wish I could share my passion for diving with the whole world!

Thea Brown

Master Scuba Diver Trainer

I got certified because my husband came home one day and told me he had bought us scuba diving lessons. At first I wasn’t very good but I had a very patient instructor who really helped me make it through. Being from California and living on the beach we had a lot of great diving so I continued on with scuba going to advanced, rescue on to assistant instructor where I stopped to raise my family until I became an instructor in 2014.

I have a couple places that I really like to dive California of course the diversity of life is amazing, Hawaii is beautiful but I would have to say Honduras is just one of my all time favorite. I was teaching and working on a dive boat in Hawaii until I moved to Arizona, where I was very fortunate to start teaching with No Limits Scuba. The main reason I like teaching at NLS is because of the owners and fellow instructors who believe diving is about fun and being safe at the same time. Classes are kept small so we get to know students and allows instructors to give more attention to the students, and I like that aspect. I think when you walk into No Limits Scuba, you are not just a customer, you are family.

Steve Fryer

Assistant Instructor

I’ve been very lucky to have traveled to some amazing dive locations and feel privileged to dive their awesome reefs, walls and wrecks. So far, I have not experienced a place more incredible than Fiji, but I’m always working on it.  As a diver, the “Bucket and the List” become extremely large and always expanding. You can ask any diver what they are thinking about and almost always, they will respond with something that has to do with being surrounded by salt water. Once experienced, it remains in our blood, our minds, and our souls…

New friends, new places, amazing experiences and unforgettable memories are what you will always take with you during this journey of life.

Divemaster

Hi, I’m Sean; Dive Master here at No Limits Scuba. I’ve been diving off and on since I was a kid, but I officially received my PADI Certification in 2016 because I wanted to do more diving on my own during my world travels. My favorite place that I’ve been diving so far has been in Costa Rica, but I have plans to go to the Galapagos Islands soon. Hammerhead Sharks were my favorite animal as a kid, so being able to dive around them would be an unforgettable experience.
My favorite part about diving is being around all of the unique marine life that you’d otherwise never be able to see. Diving can also be very relaxing once you get used to it, so that is a big draw to it for me as well.I became a Dive Master because I enjoy learning about the activities that I’m passionate about, along with teaching and sharing knowledge with other people. I’ve taught people how to play hockey, how to be ceramic artists, and now I get to help teach people how to dive. I chose to work with No Limits Scuba because of how well everyone gets along at the shop. We’re all a bunch of like minded individuals, and everyone is easy to work with. I trusted them to do all of my professional instruction, so joining the shop afterwards was an easy decision. No Limits Scuba offers a perfect mix of professionalism and fun while learning how to dive, so you can book your certification course with confidence that you’ll be taken care of.

Steven Manross

Divemaster

As a kid, I dreamed about seeing the undersea world up close and personal after watching biographies from Jacques Cousteau and cartoons like Johnny Quest. I caught the bug for diving during my Open Water class and wanted to increase my knowledge, so I kept acquiring more certifications and specialties until I hit Divemaster. I often visit Puerto Vallarta, and love the dive operations and sites to choose from.  Wreck Alley, in San Diego is also an interesting and close destination with some great sunken ships to explore.

The staff at No Limits Scuba wants you to love Scuba as much as we do.  We also want to promote safe diving habits so you can enjoy diving for many years to come.  I hope you come and dive with us!

Conner Post

Rescue Diver

My favorite dive spots are San Carlos and Cozumel.  San Carlos is an easy trip and there are lots of Sea Lions that like to play with the divers. Cozumel is so biodiverse and drift diving is the best.

Most of the time if I’m not under the water I’m in charge of all the shop errands, gear cleaning, and keeping the shop looking good.   It’s not glamorous but we all have to start somewhere and everyone is really great and fun to work with.

Mariska Sherlin

Junior Open Water Diver

My favorite dive spot so far is Fiji. I’ve been diving in the pool since I turned 8 and would always “assist” my dad when he teaches PADI Bubblemakers or Seal Team classes because that’s how I started out too!  I love showing the skills I’ve been practicing to other kids who are learning to dive.

I love No Limits Scuba because even though I’m young everyone still talks about scuba with me. They really treat me like I’m part of the group and I love the way kids can be a part of the family of scuba at NLS.

While I never thought I’d be a salty dog when I started life, here I am. As a rescue picked out by Chris and Kelly, scuba found me, you might say.

I love coming to No Limits Scuba and hanging out because the customers and staff here are the best. You’ll usually find me napping in the office, but if you bring a good dog biscuit I might show you the best deals in the store.  I know where they keep the good stuff!
