Steve Cockrell "Scuba Steve"
What set the hook? I got hooked on scuba diving after a trip to Cancun. I was snorkeling and saw divers on the bottom and knew I needed to be there. I came back and immediately got certified. My buddy and I spent many years experiencing all types of diving including deep, wreck, night, photo, hunting, fresh water, beach, boat and warm waters. I have had surreal experiences diving the warm waters of the Florida Keys to Cozumel to Hawaii. But I love our world class diving here in Southern California. I decided to “Go Pro” and get my instructor rating and have loved every minute of it.
Certifications: PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT), PADI Dive Travel Specialist
Goals: I teach scuba diving because I love it. I love to teach and I love the sport so being an instructor has been a perfect match. I especially enjoy sharing the wonders of the underwater world with new students teaching Open Water Diver and Advance Open Water. Over the years, I have been fortunate to meet many fellow adventurers who share my passion and have joined me on my group dive trips. I would like nothing more than to continue teaching scuba and lead dive trips to exotic destination around the world. After working for another dive shop the last 12 years that went out of business, I am honored to be able to continue teaching with Signature Scuba.
