What is Y-City Scuba?

That's a good question.  When I decided I wanted to learn to scuba dive, the closest place to learn to dive was in Columbus.  That's quite a drive for regular folks to make.  I meet people all the time who say "I'd love to learn to dive, where can I go?"  Then when I tell them Columbus is the closest place, they groan.

​

So, I started Y-City Scuba to share my passion for diving here in Zanesville OH and the surrounding East Central Ohio area.  Having Y-City Scuba in your area makes getting started much easier.

​

What we are is a Scuba Training organization.  We are not a dive shop....yet.  Baby steps. Although we do have discount relationships with online scuba shops that we are happy to share with our students. We also recommend Columbus Scuba Inc. as a place to shop for all your dive gear needs.

For certified divers looking for additional training, Y-City Scuba offers several specialty certifications.  We cannot provide technical training at this time.  However, if you're looking for specialty certifications that require a specialty instructor certification to teach or technical training, we highly recommend that you contact Andy Silverman at Columbus Scuba Inc. as your source for advanced training. www.columbusscuba.com or call 612-500-PADI (7234)

You've Taken the "Plunge"

So who is this guy?

I'm married, have kids, a day job, to put it simply, I'm just like you.  Just a regular person who decided one day he wanted to learn to scuba dive.  So, like you I took the plunge too.  Now, I'm a PADI Open Water Instructor.

​

I finished my PADI Open Water certification in May of 2014 in a cool place called Ginnie Springs, Florida.  A place you may dive one day.  The photo on the left was taken near there a year later.  I did my Open Water training with Columbus Scuba Inc.  In fact, I've done all my training with CSI and I am still a CSI Staff Instructor.  

​

I spent the summer of 2014 diving...a lot, and advancing my training.  I knew very early after my initial certification that I wanted to teach diving.  I completed my PADI Divemaster certification in May of 2015 and spent the next two summers diving and working with students just like you.

Learn About Open Water Certification

In October 2016 I completed my Open Water Instructor certification.  Along with my Open Water certification, I have several other PADI recreational certifications, a PADI Rescue Diver certification and a PADI EFR Instructor certification.  I am fully insured, trained, certified and licensed to safely teach you what you need to learn to scuba dive safely.
