DRIS Instructor Devin

DRIS Instructor Devin I began my diving journey with the Navy while stationed in Okinawa, where I discovered my passion for the underwater world.

After transitioning to civilian life, I faced challenges in adjusting. DRIS has given me the opportunity to pursue my passion.

If you want to be certified and ready for local diving this season, now is a great time to start.

Our Open Water classes are built for beginners, with a safety-first approach and real coaching (not just “do this, do that”).

CTA: DM us “DATES” and we’ll send the next class start options for Plainfield + Orland Park.

New diver tip: your breathing controls way more than you think.

If you feel "floaty" or stressed, try this:
- Slow inhale (34 seconds)
- Slow exhale (46 seconds)
- Pause for a beat, then repeat

Most buoyancy problems start as breathing problems.

Quick behind-the-scenes reminder: your BCD needs love too.

After diving:
- Rinse it inside and out
- Partially inflate it so it dries properly
- Store it out of direct sun/heat

If yours is leaking, sticking, or just feels off, bring it in. Well check it out and get you squared away before your next trip.

This is your sign to stop waiting until you’re ready.

Nobody feels 100% ready before their first scuba class.

But the people who start? They usually tell us the same thing after the first pool session:
“I can’t believe I waited so long.”

Educational: 3 things to bring to your first pool session (that people forget)

1) A towel and a warm layer for after. You will be surprised how cold you feel when you get out.
2) Water and a small snack. Learning new skills is work.
3) A hair tie or cap if you have long hair. Mask straps and loose hair are a classic combo.

We handle the scuba gear and the coaching. You just show up ready to learn.

Safety tip for newer divers: practice your pre-dive buddy check every single time, even in the pool.

A simple flow:
B) BCD: inflate/deflate works
W) Weights: secure + releasable
R) Releases: straps clipped + tidy
A) Air: breathe from both regs, watch the gauge
F) Final check: mask, fins, nothing dangling

It takes 60 seconds and prevents a ton of "whoops" moments.

Behind the scenes: this is what world-class repair actually looks like.

Clean bench. Parts laid out. Notes everywhere. Test, re-test, then test again.

If your gear is acting weird (free-flow, leaks, sticky inflator, zipper issues), don’t wait until the night before your trip.

CTA: Drop it off this week and tell us your next dive date. We’ll give you an honest assessment + timeline.

Real talk: the hardest part for most people isn't the swimming.

It's walking in the door for the first time.

If you've been curious about scuba but feel like you'll be behind or you don't know what to ask, you're exactly who we love helping.

CTA: Comment NEW and we'll DM you 3 simple next steps (plus which location is best for you: Plainfield or Orland Park).

Social proof moment

This is the part nobody tells you before Open Water: the first time you relax, breathe, and realize you are actually doing it, everything clicks.

If you have been thinking about getting certified, you do not need to be athletic or fearless. You just need a good instructor team and a plan.

Mask fog driving you nuts? Here’s the quick fix most new divers miss:

1) Rinse your mask in fresh water after every use
2) Don’t touch the inside of the lens with your fingers (skin oils = fog)
3) Use defog right before you get in, then a quick dunk

If you’re still fighting fog every dive, bring your mask in and we’ll help you get it dialed.
