Bill McLean
NAUI Instructor #33222
NAUI Course Director
NAUI Technical Diving Instructor

DAN Instructor #12825

Bill was kinda pushed into scuba diving by a friend one weekend back in 1995 when the friend needed a buddy. Bill took to diving right away as his main hobby, joined the team at Burton’s, and became an active member of the Wet Owls Underwater Club. After more diving and more training, Bill began to focus on dive instruction and in 1999 received his NAUI Instructor certification. Always ready for new challenges, Bill began training as a technical diver in 2003, and recently started into cave diving as well. He also plans to add NAUI's Technical Wreck Penetration and Trimix Diver courses to his portfolio. Bill is currently teaching recreational, technical and leadership levels for Burton's Dive Service.
