Aaron Malner

Instructor

From the first submerged breath in 2015, I was hooked and began diving at Lake Pleasant every weekend.

Having an insatiable hunger to improve, I soon earned my Advanced Open Water and began working through specialties, eventually earning Dive Master. With a natural love of leading dives and helping others to improve, I became an instructor. There is something innately rewarding about helping someone gain access to the other 71% of the planet.

Fast forward, and the learning never stopped. In 2019 I realized my ultimate love when I received my Full Cave Certification. Along the way I discovered a love for technical diving and the unique challenges and rewards that come with it.

Most recently, I added the tools of CCR diving and Helitrox, however, the journey and learning continues…
