Instructor Biography - Open Water Class Training by Ron Redwell
Lahaina Divers Instructor Ron Redwell. Ron Redwell became a dive instructor in 1974 in Los Angeles, California. At that time, Southern California was the birth place of Recreational Scuba Diving and the scuba diving certification agencies: PADI and Naui. “I became a dive instructor by accident. I was in a high stress occupation as a printer and started scuba diving to relieve job stress. In scuba diving, I found a new and exciting world and great people to share this underwater world with. Even after diving for 30 years, I still have not found any two dives to be the same.”
“I started teaching diving to give back some of what was given to me. I found I really loved sharing the awe of the underwater world with people who have never been scuba diving before. I get to re-live the excitement, adventure, and discovery of diving with each diver I teach. I see what I do as giving good memories that will last each diver a lifetime.”
