Most of their groups are small. Friendships are made, dive and travel buddies are found. A great time is usually had by all.
Rich and Nancy love to travel, enjoy meeting new people, and are eager to share the fascinating world that scuba opens to us.
SPECIAL OFFER- We offer open water certification on our Bonaire trips. If someone wants to learn to dive, but just can't face the idea of open water dives in the Northwest, we will complete all the training in the classroom and pool here at home, then do the 4 open water dives to complete the certification on a trip to Bonaire.
Rich and Nancy Birkemeier have been organizing and leading dive trips since 1996. Rich has been diving since 1970 and is an SSI (Scuba Schools International) instructor. He has a calm patient approach in his teaching manner, which makes him a popular instructor for those who might be a little nervous.

Nancy has been diving since 1996. She decided right away that the warm water was where she wanted to be. She has fought to overcome a fear of the water and sea sickness, so she is able to relate to those who are really nervous about this sport. Her organizational skills are evident when it comes to planning group trips. Extensive research goes into each destination that is visited. Her goal is to provide a relaxing vacation for everyone who travels with them.
