White-glove scuba
Hi, I’m Franz.
I’ll help you pick a course, sort out what gear to bring and find a time that works. In the water, you get my full attention and time to get comfortable. The white gloves are optional.
Get to know Franz
I’ve never dived before. Where should I start?
Start with Discover Scuba Diving if you want to try breathing underwater with Franz beside you. Choose Open Water Diver if you’re ready to work toward your first certification.
Can I bring my partner, family or friends?
Yes. Train one-on-one or ask Franz to plan a private session for your own small group. Share everyone’s experience and ages so he can help choose the right option.
Where do lessons take place?
Franz is based in the Tampa Bay area. The location depends on your course, schedule and conditions. If you’re planning to dive elsewhere in Florida or abroad, ask about private travel options.
Do I need to buy gear first?
Talk with Franz first. He’ll explain what to bring, what can be arranged and whether it makes sense to use the gear you already own.
I’m certified but haven’t dived in years. Can you help?
Yes. The ReActivate refresher combines a knowledge review with private in-water practice focused on the skills you want to revisit.
