Instructor Biography - Open Water Class Training by Ron
Redwell
Ron Redwell became a dive instructor in 1974 in Los Angeles, California.
At that time, Southern California was the birth place of Recreational
Scuba Diving and the scuba diving certification agencies: PADI and
Naui. “I became a dive instructor by accident. I was in a
high stress occupation as a printer and started scuba diving to
relieve job stress. In scuba diving, I found a new and exciting
world and great people to share this underwater world with. Even
after diving for 30 years, I still have not found any two dives
to be the same.”
“I started teaching diving to give back some of what was given
to me. I found I really loved sharing the awe of the underwater
world with people who have never been scuba diving before. I get
to re-live the excitement, adventure, and discovery of diving with
each diver I teach. I see what I do as giving good memories that
will last each diver a lifetime.”
