I’ve been training with Jessy Thompson at Two Fathoms Diving since my Open Water course over Memorial Day weekend in 2023, and looking back at how far I’ve come is incredible.
Since then, Jessy and his wife, Laurie, have guided me through Advanced Open Water, Dry Suit, Intro to Tech, and Advanced Nitrox. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to travel and dive with them on multiple trips, including two unforgettable expeditions to Tulum, Mexico, exploring the cenotes, as well as diving in Bonaire, Port Sanilac, and the Straits of Mackinac on some of the Great Lakes’ most incredible shipwrecks.
What keeps me coming back—and why I continue to train exclusively with Jessy—is his unmatched knowledge, exceptional skill, and incredible patience. From day one, he introduced me to the DIR philosophy, building a strong foundation of proper techniques, discipline, and, most importantly, safety. That training has shaped me into a more confident and capable diver and has prepared me for progressing into technical diving.
If you’re looking to learn to dive the right way—from your very first certification all the way through technical diving—I can’t recommend Jessy Thompson and Two Fathoms Diving highly enough. Investing in quality instruction is one of the best decisions you can make as a diver, and training with Jessy has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my diving journey.
