Visit Date: September 1998

I received my PADI BOW here in October '98. Very very serious about the training. I've since received other certs and the most intense, serious and concerned training I received was here. Cdr. Starns has been there over 30 years and you just don't find that. Lot's of experience there! If you are in the area, check it out. They are across from 7 Corner's Center in the Willston Shopping Center. Great (real) Chinese food there too right across from them at Mark's Duck House.

Did my open water dives in the quarry in Haymarket weekend before Halloween.
