Mr. Patrick Emmons is the Scuba Diving Program coordinator at
OverTheHillandUndertheWaves scuba site. Pat is a certified NAUI
(National Association of Underwater Instructors) instructor, a TDI (Technical
Diving International) instructor and has been diving professionally since
1998. At the age of 63, Pat has over 20 years of scuba diving experience
and over 1000 hours of diving experience. One of his primary goals as an
instructor is to share the experience with older adults.
Pat began his career as a diver in February 1986. Pat’s initial diving
experiences included the exploration of water filled mines in the mid west
around St. Louis, which fueled his passion for the sport of scuba diving. In
the mid 1990’s, Pat enrolled in the scuba program at the University of Texas
at Arlington to begin work on his professional scuba diver ratings. Pat
completed his NAUI scuba instructor rating in August of 2000. Pat is credited
with the creation of interactive Microsoft PowerPoint presentations for the
University Scuba curriculum. Pat is also an instructor in Nitrox, Advanced
Nitrox, Decompression Procedures, Extended Range, underwater
photography and CPR/First Aid.
Pat’s diverse and unique diving experiences canvas the globe to include:
The Great Lakes, Bonne Terre lead mine, Puget Sound, Cozumel Mexico,
Harbour Island Bahamas, Curacao and Bonaire Netherlands Antilles,
Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Belize, Guam, Palau and Truk Lagoon
(Chuuk Island) in the south Pacific
Favorite dive buddy: My wife Laura. She first became a certified diver in
1997. Laura is a master diver with over 200 dives.
Most memorable dive: A midnight dive on Haps reef in Guam with only my
wife, a Divemaster and myself. The full moon illuminated the underwater
reef teaming with beautiful Spanish Dancers, Lion Fish and Candy Cane
shrimp. My wife and I swam effortlessly in the warm gentle sea, bathing in
moonlight and the solitude making for a totally memorable experience.
