HISTORY OF THE SCUBA RANGERS

The Scuba Rangers were started in 1999 by Paul Oberle, owner of Adventure Sports in Shreveport, Louisiana, Instructor Certifier affiliated with Scuba Schools International (SSI). For 12 months he conducted a pilot program at his store, in association with Scuba Schools International. Paul pioneered children-specific training techniques, new terminology and educational philosophies, with the assistance of SSI Instructor Ashley Rosenthal. Read what was said about Paul at the 2000 Dema Dealers Convention. See Mr. Paul’s contribution to the book Diving with Legends. Scuba Schools International then worked with Paul to develop detailed instructional manuals and education products based on his programs.

MISSION OF THE SCUBA RANGERS

The mission of Scuba Rangers is simple: to involve children in snorkeling and scuba diving and pass along the excitement of water exploration. Our goal is for thousands and thousands of kids to develop a long-term affinity with the sport of scuba diving by the time they are 12 years old. The intent is that when they become adults, and are making recreational decisions, they will retain the affinity for scuba diving and pursue it as their passion.
