I have always had a love of the ocean. There was a world of wonderful and weird things that I wanted to know all about. I walked into Sin City Scuba for the first time and introduced myself to a group of warm, energetic, and positive people. As I progressed from a PADI Open Water Scuba Diver through higher certifications levels I realized that there was so much more there was to learn. With the encouragement and support from the instructors at Sin City Scuba I accomplished all my goals and had to set new ones. In September 2018 I proudly joined Sin City Scuba as an Open Water Scuba Instructor. My goal now is to continue to learn about scuba diving and to help new divers experience the underwater world.<em>Some of the Awards Donnie has earned are listed below.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7921\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sincityscuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2019-50.jpg?resize=70%2C70&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"70\" height=\"70\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curtis Snaper PADI \u2013 Course Director\u00a0\u2013 308932 PADI \u2013 Public Safety Diving Instructor PADI \u2013 TecRec \/ Tec Deep Instructor Emergency First Response Instructor Trainer DAN Instructor #15011 I was PADI OW certified in Maui, HI. in 1999.
