What's Your Vibe?

Diving is among the most diverse sports on the planet, with hobbyists and professionals alike pursuing drastically different goals.

While one diver may spend all year waiting for their next opportunity to take pretty pictures, the next might spend every weekend preparing for their next dive to 400 feet!

There's no "right" way to enjoy this activity, whether you consider it a hobby or a career. My students come to me with a variety of goals, and *every* course is tailored to support them as best I can.

Not sure what you're looking for? Don't hesitate to reach out! I'm more than happy to discuss the many sides of diving and figure out what works best for you!

It's not all about the diving.

It's not all about the laughs.

It's not all about the adventures.

Sometimes, it's just about getting people what they need, whatever that might be.

I recently had the honor of arranging a sunset ash-spreading. This amazing family wanted to send a loved one off on an eternal voyage across the oceans, and simply asked that I help them make the arrangements. We found the right operator, the right boat, the right spot, and the right time, then made it happen.

While diving remains my focus, taking care of people will always be my true passion.

To the lovely family that entrusted me with this responsibility - thank you.

What an AMAZING week of diving with Bill, one of my longest-running clients, aboard the Republic Diver!

Molasses Reef, the Benwood Wreck, the Spiegel Grove, and the USCG Duane - all GREAT dives!

Many thanks to Captains Greg, Jason, and Kyle for arranging for such beautiful weather! I don't know who they're bribing, but we certainly appreciated it!

OFFICIAL MERCH!

It's been a great first month of handing out official Barracuda Dundee merch to clients and business partners! These hooded rash guards are very strictly NOT available for sale, but getting one is as simple as coming to dive with me! There are currently 5 designs on the backs, such as "Dive Deeper - That's Where the Cool Kids Hang" with 3 more in the pipe!

Currently considering making regular t-shirts, tank tops, and hoodies available for purchase with these same graphics.

Barracuda Dundee Diving LLC Announcements!

2026 has been a crazy year (in a good way), and I'm so excited to be sharing some great news with everyone!

For starters, you'll definitely want to check out the brand new website that launched last week! It's got a long way to go, but you'll find lots of great information on there as well as some blog articles I've written!

As if that weren't exciting enough, the first shipment of official Barracuda Dundee shirts has arrived and is already being distributed! With five designs in total (and three more on the way), these sun-protective hooded rashguards are available to *clients only* and at no additional cost for students!

Considering how it's only May, I'm almost nervous to see how the rest of this year goes. We've got some exciting partnerships developing rapidly, and plans for some truly amazing diving and training opportunities being developed at this very moment.

As always, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding training or planning your next adventure. My contact information is on the website divewithcuda.com and I'm always excited to talk diving!

While I'm not a NAUI Instructor, I have been VERY impressed by Ricki's recent stances on the profession. If you're knowledgeable of the subject matter, proficient in the water, and a trained educator, then methodology should be yours to decide. If NAUI continues to push this approach, I very well might cross over.

Congrats to Sean and Bill for earning their Enriched Air Nitrox and Deep Diver certs this past weekend!

These guys are some of my favorite returning clients, and not just because they made me an honorary member of the Chain Guys Diving Club!
