Dave Pitalo:

In a former life, Dave was a computer technician for the Mississippi State Chemical Laboratory. After earning his Open Water certification in 2005, it didn't take long for him to realize that he wanted to teach people how to dive.

Dave completed his Instructor Training Course at the International Diving Career Institute at Hall's in Marathon, Florida in October, 2007. He is currently a NAUI Master Scuba Diver Trainer and will soon be teaching Advanced Nitrox and Decompression Procedures through TDI. In addition to teaching diving, Dave is also a DAN Oxygen Provider Instructor, as well as, a First Aid/CPR/AED Instructor through the National Safety Council.

Some of Dave's favorite dive sites are the Twin Tugs in Panama City Beach, FL, the Thunderbolt and Adolphus Busch in the Middle Florida Keys, and just about any dive site in Curacao.
