Where have they gone?

[Liftman]

Hello all. Nice place ya got going here. Glad to have found this forum.

Anyway to my question: My wife and I were certified ssi at Nautalis Aquatics in concord before they closed. I liked the place eventhough it was more expensive. Everyone was always very personably and knowledgeable. And the instructors were really great. We are looking to get some more certs, specifically drysuit, and the other local shops have left a bad taste in my mouth.

So does anyone know where any of the staff from Nautalis went? Or can you maybe point us in a good direction?

Thanks, Lift

No idea where the staff went, but you can post that you're looking for an instructor on here and someone will most likely chime up. I guess it depends on how far you want to go for an instructor.
Just put a post like "need an instructor for drysuit cert in XXX area, anyone know of any they could recommend?"
You may get a DM who has worked with someone they like or an instructor to respond.

Thanks P G. Yeah I figured that I'd try that too. I was just thinking it'd be nice to catch up with our OW instructor Mark again.

If you know "Mark's" last name, SSI could probably put you in contact with him:

SSI :: MySSI > Contacts & Partners :: Contact SSI :: take your dive @ diveSSI.com
