The Thrill Of Diving!
It's difficult to explain the Thrill of Scuba Diving or the comfortable, peaceful feeling a diver experiences when in a weightless state underwater. As you glide slowly over the tropical reef watching the ballet of thousands of beautifully colored marine creatures, you're immersed in a spirit of inner space that is nearly overwhelming and beckons you to stay.
The water is warm and clear as you search for that "perfect shot" with your underwater camera. Then you realize you've moved to the edge of the reef...to the wall, where the bottom drops thousands of feet into wonderful blue infinity. Your first emotion screams, "I'm Fal__... I'm Fal__... I'm Flying" through this magnificent liquid universe!
Then sometimes you get so comfortable that, just for a couple of seconds, you no longer feel that you're underwater at all. It's then when you realize, it seems you could reach out and touch the face of God!

God's Blessings to Jerry Hall
as He Works Toward ANOTHER WORLD'S RECORD DIVE!
Jerry is currently preparing to Set His 3rd World's Record Dive.
I say his 3rd World's Record, because if I know anyone that can
complete this task, it's Jerry. Some Say "That's Crazy, He's Nuts!"
I say Use Your God Given Talents and Keep Your Eye on Your Goal!
Good Luck to Jerry and his Support Staff !
Note to All Active Divers in the Area
Guys & Gals. If you don't know about Jerry Hall's Two World Records,
get on his Webpage or Facebook page and "Like" his information.
This is a Gutsy Move! Think about staying underwater for 5 1/2 days.
Who cares Why? . . . Jerry is driven to do this thing! Let's Support Him!
They're looking for 500 "Likes". Let's help them get 1000!
Many of you guys do business somewhere else. More power to Ya!
Jerry can use the Prayers and Support of all area divers.

From Time-To-Time Someone Ask Me
Why SMD Classes Cost More than at "Premier Diving Establishments"?
Instructional Quality & Safety is SMD's Most Important Product.
Anybody Can Say That . . . Right?
Look at the "New Certifications" on Our "Main Menu".
Look at the Certifications Held By our SMD Instructional Corps.
We Not Only Teach New Divers . . .
Our Instructors are Continuously Learning as Well !
So, You Like "Your Deal" on Cut-Rate Scuba Instruction?
If My Family is Having Surgery,
I Don't Want "Just Any Guy that Graduated" Doing the
Cutting . . . I Want the Guy at the "Top of The Class" Every Time !
All Scuba Instructors are Not at "The Top Of Their Class".
Several Instructors Haven't Up-Dated Their Ratings in 3-15 Years!
Some Never Up-Date Their Personal Certifications, They Only Renew!
Many Times You Get Exactly What You Pay For!
SMD Instruction Will Never Be the Cheapest in Town.
In Price . . . Or Quality!
Ask Your Instructor When They Got Their Last Certification,
How Many Dives They've Personally Made in the Last 12 Months.
If You're Satisfied With the Answer, You've Done the Right Thing!
At Smoky Mountain Divers
There's More to a Good Deal . . .
