Bill Foote, Instructor and Owner
My name is Bill Foote. I am the owner of Ocala Dive. I began diving 40 years ago and have logged over 3000 dives. I have certified over 1500 students since I started Ocala Dive in 1991. I have been an instructor with five training agencies including: NAUI, IANTD, TDI, NSS-CDS and SDI. I have logged over 500 dives internationally. I have made numerous dives to depths over 200’ in caves and wrecks. I have been on the Board of Directors for the NSS-CDS. I have been involved in scuba diving film and television projects, which have aired on national television networks. I have had photographs published in nationally circulated magazines. I have provided specialized training for the Marion County Sheriff’s Office Recovery Team. I have been involved in mapping all the major cave systems in our area and have logged numerous dives in every known cave in North Florida. I have an easygoing teaching style that makes everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. My experience provides the best qualification in the area for training you to scuba dive at any level of instruction.
