Steve Madaras, PADI Course Director #17232, has had a love of the sea since he was a young boy. He became a certified diver in the early 70’s in California. Maui Dive Instructor Steve MadarasThe sport was so new that you could buy a regulator at Sears & Roebuck. It was a double hose unit and inside the box was a small note that read “may require some instruction”. There were no certification agencies and most divers carried knives and handmade pole spears. They were almost exclusively hunters and wetsuits were for sissies! If it sounds like Mike Nelson and the television series “Sea Hunt”, it was pretty much just like that except no one swam after you and cut your air hoses… thank goodness!
Diving is Steve’s passion and “SCUBA LUV” has been his lifelong adventure. Now in his 40th year of teaching diving, Steve has taught thousands of folks how to dive…and their kids….and their kid’s kids! The “SCUBA LUV” name has been around for more than 40 years!
