Recreational Guide Services:
Are you traveling somewhere exotic, but lack the experience or a qualified dive buddy? Chat with ExRDS about our "guided dive" services. I offer packages that are inclusive of trip logistics so all you have to focus on is having fun and growing as a diver. I also offer options where I simply join you on your adventure to serve as a safe and experienced buddy you can count on. Contact me for a quote. Photo Guide Services: Are you a photographer who travels alone? Could you use a buddy who will watch your back but not interfere with your shot? Does your shot list include images of divers set against amazing and interesting flora and fauna? Hire ExRDS to ensure your dive safety and assist you with your photographic goals. Contact me for a quote. Technical Guide services: Are you a newly certified technical diver wondering what to do now that you are required to execute a technical dive with a stranger? Do you find yourself asking "Now what"? or "I don't have any tech buddies, who am I going to do these dives with?" The evolution of a safe and confident extended range diver hinges on repetition, and the insta-buddy concept can be disconcerting for any diver. The scenario is especially stressful when the plan consists of decompression obligations, large shipwrecks, multiple gas usage and contingency planning. Hire me to guide you through the process and allow you to enjoy the dive and concentrate on the plan! Contact me for a quote. |
Support Divers- Films/Special projects:
Is your business in need of an experienced safety diver for a film crew or special project? ExRDS has experience working with shark week film crews on deep technical dives where we served as safety divers for members of the team. Jon specifically worked on the Discovery Channel shark week episode "Lair of the Sawfish" where he was in charge of safety logistics and served as a dive site expert. ExRDS also works in conjunction with marine scientists. I have experience with work such as specimen collection, ROV deployment, and acoustic shark tracking apparatus deployment and collection. Let's chat about how I can help make your project safer and more efficient. Contact me for a quote. |
Training Consulting:
ExRDS is committed to the health of the dive industry as a whole and am available to share my knowledge and experience with freelance Instructors and retailers alike, regardless of training agency affiliation. I believe that curriculum development should be a unique and holistic process that incorporates static variables while staying student centered. Out of the box thinking is paramount; I encourage my clients to find harmony between the established agency curriculum's and catering to the individual learning needs of the student(s). Patronizing scuba retailers is a vital part of the success and safety of our industry. My goal is to foster partnerships with retailers and training agencies for the betterment of the dive community. To discuss curriculum consulting please contact me. |
