In 1994 Gerald "Bruno" Burnosky was awarded SSI's Platinum Pro Diver certification in recognition of his long service to the SCUBA industry. He is SSI Instructor #8 (numbers are now up over 30,000!) and as well as having trained over 5000 divers (including the owners of some of the other local dive stores), Bruno has designed regulators, discovered wrecks, been on TV and even wore a suit once or twice, while still managing to keep a smile on his face.

Still active, Bruno has a hand in everything that goes on at the dive shop, constantly expanding the facilities and services offered, sharing his knowledge and experience with customers and the other instructors and staff (whether they want it or not!).

Everyone that comes in through the door of the dive shop is treated like a long time friend and it is this warm and friendly atmosphere that creates a comfortable environment for new divers to learn and keeps certified divers coming back for more.
