I learned how to dive at Whytecliff Park with the aid of instructor Stephanie Cimbala. And I am still learning. If it wasn't for her I don't think I would be diving as I do now. I'm still very much learning the ropes which has me appreciating her patience and encouragement all the more. I adore her enthusiasm for and commitment to the diving community.
Also: Her demeanour and diving ethic is in stark contrast to what I encountered initially at the Diving Locker, which was rushed and withdrawn. Stephanie encourages constant communication and slowness and play. She wants you to keep diving! All you would want in a diving instructor and diving comrade.
