SUBMERGE YOURSELF...
My name is Sandra Herrera (aka "The Hydro Girl") and I have created this site to help Pacific Northwest divers become familiar with local dive sites, access training to hone and refine skills, and and get information about special SCUBA trips. This site is constantly being updated with new, interesting features, so be sure to bookmark it and check back frequently.
I have been a dive professional since 1997 and hold instructor ratings from several agencies, including PADI. My goal as an instructor has always been to provide safe, yet fun, classes. I don't believe in minimum standards and always go the extra mile to ensure my students' success. The divers I train will continue to dive with confidence. I can ensure that they will be fully prepared to conduct dives with their buddies as soon as they complete my open water training class. (Classes are offered in both English and Spanish.)
In addition to SCUBA, I am an Instructor for PSI (Professional SCUBA Inspectors) and can certify my students as a "Visual Cylinder Inspector".
Throughout this site you will find details about area dive sites, including photos of the site itself and some of the aquatic life found there, information about SCUBA or PSI Classes, upcoming Dive Trips, and lots more. I also keep a Dive bLog of helpful tips, so feel free to register and participate in the discussion.
Most of the dive sites I frequent are in the Western Washington/Puget Sound area, such as Elliott Bay, but I've also spent time diving some of the great sites in Southwestern Canada. Many of these locations have been reviewed in my Diving the Pacific Northwest guide, to serve as an orientation to each site.
SCUBA diving is my passion and I would like to share it with you. Why not join me on my next dive adventure? Just click on the Events Calendar to see what's planned.
See you in the water!
