PARADISE ISLAND DIVERS
April, 06

 

Paradise Island Divers owner Wayne Moose has taken the responsibility of training people to SCUBA dive very seriously since he began his business 22 years ago. After returning home to Charlotte after serving as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam, he realized his life long dream of opening his own SCUBA business in the South End area of Charlotte.

Paradise Island Divers offers open water SCUBA certification to a depth of 100 feet. Their staff also offers advanced through instructor ratings. As part of this instruction, Wayne spent over $10,000 to produce an interactive home study program that offers the students the convenience of studying the academic portion in the comport of his own home. All the confined water training is preformed on premises in the ultra-modern 15 foot deep diving well. Paradise Island Divers also has a fully stocked retail area with all of the latest SCUBA equipment. Experienced divers who already own their own gear can have all of their equipment serviced and repaired by one of the shop's experienced technicians. The service department also serves as a Nitrox/air station. If you are planning a SCUBA trip and need to rent equipment, Paradise Island Divers has a full line of modern up-to-date equipment available. Finally, Wayne and his staff put together monthly SCUBA outings locally and abroad. Wayne's specialty is ship wrecks. When you visit the shop, be sure to check Wayne's display of antique SCUBA equipment and artifacts recovered off the North and South Carolina coast.

You don't have to be a hard core SCUBA diver to take advantage of Paradise Island Divers new facilities. Beginning through advanced swimming lessons are offered including the very popular Mommy and Me swim lessons for children as young as six months old. Life Guard training classes are offered as well.

Wayne told CHF that his philosophy is that quality over rides quantity. Our instructors feel that it is "Honorable to Over Train" and "Criminal to Under Train" you and your loved ones.
