History
Established in 1998.
OkieScuba.com was born when Rick and Christine decided to jump into diving with both fins in 1998. The start-up was small and Okiescuba remains that way, with a focus on more intimate groups and personal instruction.
Back in 2004, with the help of Gary Cancienne, Rick taught his first Boy Scout/Venture Crew group, and the rest is history. OkieScuba.com is Oklahoma's largest and most experienced instructor of scouts and crew members in Oklahoma, and we LOVE every minute of it.
Along the way, Gary, Randy and Bevery Saffell, Nathan and Lisa Tully, Phillip and Tracy Hance, Darrell Parke, Jamie Wheeler, Wade Reeves, Tony Porter, Fred Block, Blayne Bettenger, and others joined the team and became family too. We still feel that way, and think you will too after your class!
