Mike Goss

PADI Course Director /Owner

PADI EFR Instructor Trainer

Course Director is the highest training rank in the PADI system.  Mike is the only active Course Director in the state of Tennessee.  As such, he is in charge of Instructor Development.  But don't be surprised if he teaches an Open Water Course.  Mike loves teaching and training at all levels and students usually find his "colorful" personality a lot of fun.

 


Jeanne Goss

PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer /Owner

Jeanne would rather be in the water than in the classroom so she can usually be found at the Philadelphia Quarry.  Or Ginnie Springs.  Or on a trip. Or at the pool.   Or keeping up with the shop's paperwork.  No wonder she tries to stay in the water.
