STAFF
Jim Kupper
Owner/PADI Course Director.
I've been diving since Nov, 1997 and an instructor since June, 2003. My local diving includes the great ship wrecks off the New Jersey Coastline as well as training and certification dives at Dutch Springs.

My other diving experience comes from the warm water of North Carolina and the Florida Keys as well as Caribbean diving in such amazing locations as St Thomas, St Croix, Little Cayman, Jamaica, St Lucia and Belize. Other dive experience include diving off Rhode Island on a German sub sunk during WWII as well as dives in Southern California at Laguna Beach and Catalina Island.

I have over 1000 open water dives equating to more than 500 hours of bottom time. I have issued more than 900 student certifications. I am also a PADI Emergency First Response Instructor Trainer for CPR - AED - First Aid. As well as an Oxygen First Aid Instructor through The Diver's Alert Network.
