Diving with the Spartan dive team has been an amazing experience. It has opened me up to a new world that very few get to see. They shared knowledge with me that gave me the tools necessary to be a safe and responsible diver. If you want to be confident in scuba then I can’t recommend them enough.

Diving with Doc and the Spartan Dive Team is an absolute blast; not only are Spartans great people but they’re also amazing divers! They approach every dive and every trip with an emphasis on organization, education and most importantly safe dive practices. There’s no one else I’d rather be underwater with than Doc and his Spartans.

Dispelling the Tech Myth

Last weekend I was coming up out of a quick 40 minute dive when a Divemaster candidate from another shop quipped, “I thought tech divers were supposed to stay down longer!” I cringed and blew it off on the outside, but deep inside I churned. Time does NOT make you a tech diver. If not time, then what? There are three things which put a diver into the tech

That’s a wrap!

In the words of the sausage king of Gresham, Reverend Randall, “Great Success!” We crammed the walls of our space with the excited chatter of divers, old and new; shared stories and made plans; and toasted the future.
