🌊 Experience That Builds the Future
At Scuba Educators International, leadership grows with the organization.
Our directors stay because they’re inspired, supported, and deeply committed to the mission we share.

Their consistency brings clarity, their energy fuels progress, and their long‑term vision strengthens every part of our community. Stable leadership isn’t just a value here — it’s a lived practice that shapes how we teach, how we serve, and how we move forward together.

Kenny Wheeler is a perfect example of that stability in action.
With decades of experience guiding divers, instructors, and full‑scale operations, he brings a depth of understanding that only comes from years spent on the front lines of the dive industry. His time running busy dive shops taught him how to lead teams, support customers, and build programs that stand the test of time — lessons he carries into every role he takes on.

Now serving as SEI’s Director of Training, Kenny works alongside a collaborative team to update and elevate SEI’s educational materials. His leadership blends experience with innovation, honoring the roots of our agency while helping shape its future. He doesn’t just hold a position — he invests in it, grows with it, and strengthens the community around him.

This is what it looks like when leadership is steady, collaborative, and built to last.
This is Scuba Educators International.

Just got some hands-on time with the Ocean Technology Systems full face mask and we're seriously impressed. The comfort and field of view are outstanding, and the mask feels extremely secure in the water without being bulky. Breathing feels natural and relaxed, especially on longer dives, and the overall build quality is exactly what you’d expect from OTS — rugged, dependable, and professional-grade.

One of the biggest standouts is how warm and comfortable it keeps your face compared to a traditional mask and regulator setup, especially in colder water. The communication-ready design is another huge advantage for scientific diving, public safety, instruction, and team coordination underwater.

The seal feels solid, adjustments are straightforward, and visibility through the lens is crystal clear. This is the kind of gear that immediately boosts confidence underwater and feels built for serious divers who want comfort, reliability, and performance all in one system.

Definitely a great option for divers looking to step into full face masks or upgrade to a professional-quality setup.

Come into California Scuba Center today to check it out!
