Why do your Course Director with Spartan SCUBA?
- The “Doc” Premium: This program is personally directed by Dr. Eric Strand (“Doc”)—an Instructor Trainer with 30 years of medical expertise, military leadership instruction, public safety diving mastery, and thousands of technical cold-water dives. You are paying for elite mentorship, not a rubber stamp.
