Introduction: My name is Jake, owner of Southern Utah Scuba. Diving has been my obsession since I was certified over 30 yrs ago. I became an instructor 22 years ago and my wife soon became my first student. Since then diving has taken us to so many amazing places and now our kids are among my students as well. Diving has greatly enriched our family travel and given my wife and I a common passion. Now my mission is to help you become a safe diver so you can visit these same beautiful places and share unforgettable memories with your spouse, family, and friends. I also enjoy growing my local dive club by connecting new divers with other awesome St. George area residents that love to dive!
I am a PADI Rescue Diver, PADI Divemaster, SEI Instructor, and SDI instructor.
