About Steve

A little about me:

My name is Stephen Crosby (Steve). Originally from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA, where I started diving. On my original scuba course my instructor went well above and beyond the minimum standard and as an instructor now I greatly appreciate his influence. The whole mentality behind my teaching is to turn each of my students into the best possible diver they can become by going well above the minimum requirements.

(I will always dive WITHIN standards, but I never follow the "bare minimum")

Diving is without a doubt my biggest passion. Anybody who has ever been on a dive with me (or been around me in general) can see this. I feel it is my job to not only teach people to dive, but to also fill them with the same enthusiasm that I have.
