Paul Skinner
Open Water Scuba Instructor

“I started diving in college, taking scuba as a PE course at the University of Missouri.  I did a little fresh water quarry diving there and then forgot about diving for about 18 years.  In 1988, I did a resort dive and two fresh water dives while on a Caribbean cruise and that rekindled my interest.  I began my scuba education in earnest in 1990.  My family picked up my interest and by 1993, my wife and two boys were certified and by 1994 I was a dive master.  We enjoyed a lot of diving together during that time.

 Business and other family activities caused the diving activity to slow down a lot and I stopped dive mastering, but continued to dive recreationally when the opportunity arose.  Now I’m retired with a lot of time on my hands.  Diving and helping others to dive seems like a great way to spend my time.
