SpaceLarry Holling

IDC Staff Instructor

I went with a buddy to do a discover Scuba and when we were done I was hooked. I was certified in July of 2000 and have been doing around a hundred dives a year ever since. I completed my Dive Master in February of 2002 and then my Open Water Instructor in November of 2002. I am currently completing my Staff Instructor level through the Dive Shop with Rob & September. My family and I travel around the world to different locations just to go on dive vacations. One of my favorite types of diving is Wreck diving.

SpaceSean Langen

MSDT Instructor

I started diving in the spring of 2007, I wanted to try something new and exciting and ended up finding much more then I thought I would! Getting into the gear during our first pool session I had the biggest grin on my face and when we dropped underwater and I took that first breath I knew I hooked!
I became a divemaster in December of 2008 and after accomplishing that task I knew it was time to make this a career and go for my instructor rating.
As the youngest Instructor in Calgary, I love watching people take that first step into a new world and realize that there is nothing else like it. Diving isn't just a sport, it's a lifestyle... Are you ready to take the challenge?

SpaceBill Morgan

Master Scuba Diver Trainer

I started scuba diving in early 2006 when my wife decided that the family should take lessons at The Dive Shop before going on a Caribbean trip. Ironically, I had absolutely no interest in doing it.  However, once we were OW certified and I’d had a couple more dives in Two Jake Lake I was hooked! 

Our family’s passion for scuba diving has introduced us to a large circle of great friends and taken us to places we might not have otherwise visited. We have travelled to a number of destinations in the Caribbean including Cozumel, Bonaire, Little Cayman, St. Lucia, and Belize. I’ve been to San Diego to dive in the kelp forest and was introduced to wreck diving on the HMCS Yukon.

Of all the diving I’ve done, my most memorable dive was to Norris Rocks on the southern tip of Hornby Island in British Columbia.  I had the incredible experience of diving with sea lions on my 50th birthday – a memorable birthday to say the least!  The sea lions are extremely playful and really curious.

As a Divemaster, I really enjoy interacting with students and new divers. I get a great charge out of conducting basic snorkeling and skin diving classes with students who have never done either before.

Rene Querido

MSDT Instructor

Rene has been diving since 1993. He started out in Nanoose Bay and Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island and enjoyed the best cold-water diving the world has to offer for his first 8 years. He came to The Dive Shop in 2001 and has been teaching since 2002. "There's nothing more satisfying, as an instructor, than helping the saucers turn to smiles." He enjoys underwater navigation and loves teaching it. Rene’s favorite sort of diving is, by far, night diving but if you look really carefully, you may find him inside a shipwreck or two, as well. He's one of the best at sniffing out the best places for a surface interval and "the hat" is known throughout the Bow Valley's pub's and night spots, thanks to his "Extreme Weekends". Keep an eye out for them on the "Upcoming Events" board at the shop. "Safe Diving, Gang. See you out there. Ren."
