KEITH D. HINTZ, Owner

NAUI & SSI Instructor

Keith has been a certified scuba instructor for over 34 years, and the co-owner of Dive & Glide Scuba since it opened in 1997.  

He has logged thousands of dives and has trained a multitude of divers.  Keith has a passion for teaching people of all ages to dive. He's had the pleasure of training several generations of some families.  Parents and grandparents return to Dive & Glide Scuba to enroll their children and grandchildren in his classes as they become old enough to dive because of his teaching skill and the atmosphere within his classes.  He has a knack for making students feel safe and comfortable under his guidance, regardless of age or abilities.

Keith truly enjoys traveling as well.  Each year he plans an October trip to celebrate his birthday with diving friends.  Many of his students, after becoming certified divers, chose to spend their vacations traveling with him for the excitement of the dives and the comradery found on his excursions.  He now plans at least five trips a year, to places such as Cozumel, the Cayman Islands, Bonaire, the Bay Islands, Bimini, and more.  His trips aren't just for already certified divers either!  If you're interested in earning your scuba certification, but not so much in cold water, join him on a trip to complete your open-water dives in warm water!

Keith's scuba knowledge extends way beyond the classroom and water.  There is likely not a piece of scuba gear made with which he is unfamiliar.  In addition to holding dual certifications as an instructor, Keith holds many certifications for dive gear service.  If you are in the market for new equipment, he is truly a valuable asset to you in your search for the perfect dive gear.
