Our Staff

Doug Hyland is one man you definitely want by your side. Doug started diving as a Public Safety Diver in 2007 and has been hooked on blowing bubbles ever since. Not only is he our resident first responder, he is also a firefighter and paramedic for the Washington Township Fire Department. When he’s not working saving lives or acting as a training coordinator for his firehouse, you could find Doug teaching EFR to our Divemaster Candidates or SCUBA classes to our Open Water students. Doug also serves Fairfield County as a member of their dive rescue team.

Doug teaching experience includes working as a dive master for two years before becoming a PADI Open Water instructor for CSI, in early 2011.
