Student Spotlight – Emily

I became acquainted with Dave last summer, when I was seeking out a dive instructor to assist me with an underwater photography project, an important component of my work as a painting graduate student in the University of Hawaii.

 I was fortunate enough to discover Dave, who enthusiastically offered to share his invaluable experience as a professional diver and professional photographer. Dave immediately arranged an instructional meeting, as well as a guided dive tailored to helping me understand the technicalities of my new photographic equipment. Thanks to Dave’s superlative competence as a diver and photographer, as well as his invaluable instruction, patience and insight, I achieved striking results for my first ever underwater photographs.

In addition to being an accomplished diver and photographer, Dave also has an obvious passion and talent for teaching. He has been fully invested in helping me develop my abilities as an aspiring underwater photographer, and has consistently gone above and beyond my expectations as both his customer and student. Every time I dive with Dave, I am increasingly impressed by the depth and scope of his knowledge, and with his ability to help me achieve my technical and artistic goals.

Emily hired me to learn underwater photography so she could capture images that would inspire her paintings while she was a graduate student. Today she has graduated, teaches at the college level, and exhibits her work around the world.
