I'm Ralph A. Giglio, the Training
Director, NAUI Course Director and PADI Course Director, at Regional Scuba, Inc.
NAUI (National Association of Underwater Instructors) and PADI (The
Professional Association of Diving Instructors) and are the two largest diver training organizations in the world. Combined they
issue over 90% of the diver certifications being issued worldwide. They constitute the most widely recognized certification
cards in the world. The other agencies may be fairly large in their home areas (SSI in the USA, BSAC in Britain, JUDF in Japan,
to name but a few) but their cards may not be well recognized in other parts of the world. In some areas divers holding cards
from other agencies may be required to do a checkout dive or, in fact, may not be allowed to dive at all
If you want a truly, International
diving certification, NAUI or PADI is the way to go. Whether you choose us or another facility with which to begin your
training, always insist upon a NAUI or a PADI certification. At Regional Scuba, Inc. the staff are dedicated to making your
dive training easy and fun.
I have personally been working in
dive training since 1989. Over the years I've had the pleasure to dive in such diverse diving locations as The Caribbean,
Hawaii, Mexico, Central America, and all up and down both the east and west coast of North America, from Canada to the Sea
of Cortez. I have through the years, helped over 6,000+ divers begin the diving adventure. I've had the distinct
honor to assist many of them to go on to become diving professionals, who in turn help others discover the adventure that
is diving.
I know that your diving safety and
enjoyment depends on the efforts we put in to make sure you are properly trained, and ready to go diving. I'm proud of what
we do. In fact, there is absolutely nothing I could have done over the last 20+ years, that would have brought me more pleasure
and reward, than to spend that time assisting you discover the paradise that awaits beneath the surface of this planet's seas.
Our instructional staff are all professionally
trained and certified diving instructors. Every one of our instructors has been through weeks of intensive instructor training.
Along with being some of the best divers in the world, our staff have also had extensive training in educational theory and
philosophy, curriculum development and learning theories, water safety, diving safety and environmental education. In an effort
to be prepared for any eventuality, all of our staff members have been trained in water rescues, CPR, First Aid and Oxygen
Administration. The majority of them in fact, have completed training and hold certifications as CPR/First Aid Instructors.
At Regional Scuba, Inc. our mission
is to provide you with the safest, most up to date diver training available. All of our instructors and staff are dedicated
to making your dive training a memorable experience. They have lived and worked in some of the worlds premier diving destinations
and bring an incomparable level of experience and professionalism to all of Regional Scuba’s diver training programs.
