ABOUT US
Breezeway Bubbles SCUBA LLC is a family owned and
operated dive instruction business that prides itself on delivering top quality instruction with personal service. We are not a store- we only teach diving and we do it well by focusing on your individual needs.

Breezeway Bubbles SCUBA LLC was started over 15 years ago near Cross Plains. In the fall of 2007, Don and Cassandra Johnson took over the management and dive instruction from former owners Barb and Terry Spennetta. With over 20 years of world wide diving experience, Barb and Terry are still a valuable resource for advice regarding the best places to dive.

Don Johnson- Owner
PADI Instructor
Master SCUBA Diver Trainer
Don Johnson has been a diver since 1993 and was certified as a PADI Instructor in October of 2001. Don teaches all levels of diving from Discover SCUBA through Divemaster. Although Don enjoys teaching advanced diving courses, his primary focus is on teaching new divers.
Don first learned to dive in Okinawa Japan while on a college internship for the Army. Don has travelled throughout the world on diving trips searching for unique sea life and taking photos. Don's favorite dive location so far has been Indonesia due to the overwhelming amount of biodiversity in fish, coral, and critters that can be found there.

Don's passion is taking once nervous and timid students and turning them into competent PADI certified divers. Don enjoys adding humor to class and making every dive class a fun experience. Don and his wife Casi love to take students on trips to exotic locales and developing long lasting friendships through our diving experiences together.
Cassandra Johnson - Owner
PADI Instructor
Master SCUBA Diver Trainer
Group Trip Planner
Cassandra has been diving since 1998 and was certified as a PADI Instructor in 2008. She has extensive dive travel planning and experience, but also enjoys introducing new students to the beautiful world of SCUBA diving. Cassandra assists Don with teaching all levels of students, and holds many dive specialty instructor certifications.


SCUBA diving is one of Cassandra's life aspirations. She enjoys a diversity of SCUBA diving and cultural experiences, and plans the group dive trips with our customer's travel dreams in mind. Negotiating directly with dive shops, resorts, airlines, and liveaboards while extensively researching each location is how she can fin the hidden gems and best values possible in dive travel.

Our group travelers enjoy a pre and post gathering for each trip that is planned. Cassandra has recently added underwater videography to her list of things that she enjoys most about SCUBA diving.
Chelsey Drake
Divemaster
I started diving in 2008 because it was something that I always wanted to try. I've loved the water since I was a child and it was a way to enjoy it further. Diving has become a true joy in my life; one that I love to share with others. I've taken all of my classes and received all of my certifications through Breezeway Bubbles and could not be more pleased with my experience with this company. I recently acquired my Divemaster certification and am proud to carry that card around in my wallet! My favorite part about diving is the travel and seeing the underwater world- a world that humans were not naturally meant to see. Most of my experience is in fresh water diving and have gone diving in several WI lakes. Internationally, I've gone diving in Fiji and Little Cayman Island, and I look forward to adding more stamps on my passport very soon!
Bill Hoernke
Divemaster
A friend asked me to join him in a scuba class because he thought he needed a buddy, so I did. I’m so happy that he asked because this has opened up a whole new world for me. I love scuba diving and seeing all of the beautiful marine life. Underwater photography is now one of my favorite hobbies. I like traveling around the world and diving in the beautiful oceans the best.
Joseph Burkhart
Instructor
My name is Joseph Burkhart and ever since I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with sharks and the ocean. I finally got certified through Breezeway Bubbles in 2008, with my main goal to see sharks. Since then, I’ve traveled with Don & Casi on numerous trips, including Indonesia, Fiji, Little Cayman, Turks & Caicos, & Bonaire. I also did a shark expedition in the Bahamas to specifically dive with Tiger Sharks (my favorite). Through it all, I continued my training to become a Divemaster and enjoy helping out when I can. I live and work in Madison as a Mechanical Designer. If I’m not working or diving, you’ll find me at my other love in life, writing music.
Gary Nelson
Divemaster
Melissa Schneider
Divemaster
I've always loved the water but tried snorkeling for the first time while at Xel-Ha in Rivera Maya, Mexico on vacation in 2002! I loved it, but felt like I couldn't get close enough to see all of the amazing underwater life I was seeing for the first time. My great friends, Don and Casi encouraged me to try scuba diving, and I became certified in 2004. Scuba diving changed my life, and has become a huge passion and essential part of my life! The excitement I had when I breathed underwater for the first time in the Caribbean was indescribable. It truly felt like "a whole new world" that few have had the opportunity to see...it was as if I was living in a real world "Little Mermaid" or "Finding Nemo"...just keep swimming!!!

Cam Chute
Divemaster Candidate
Cameron is a Wisconsin native and earned his first SCUBA certification in 2008. Since then, he has added three more PADI certifications to his list of accomplishments under the direction of Breezeway Bubbles Scuba and will be a Divemaster soon. He enjoys photography, biking, globetrotting with his wife and daydreaming of drift diving in the Caribbean. His personality has even served as the character inspiration for a "made for the big screen movie script."
Steve Bachuber
Divemaster
From as early as I can remember I’ve been in the water so the logical thing to do was move under the water. Somewhere in the late 60’s I was introduced to the bottom of Devils Lake. This was a time when speed boats were still zooming around the lake and visibility was maybe 2 feet on a good day. Flash forward to the 90’s and my children are getting certified. Next comes an official certification for me. For about the past 10 years I have been a dive master with an inclination to go the way of the IDC however I’m still on the fence on that. The picture of me is what happens when I don’t get enough dive time in.
Justin Sargent
Instructor


Gary has been an enthusiastic diver for nearly 20 years. He first met Don and Casi on a trip to Bonaire in the Spring of 2005 where he completed his Advanced Underwater certification. Soon after, he completed his Rescue Diver and Divemaster certifications. He has worked with Breezeway Bubbles since Don and Casi took over the business in the Fall of 2007. Prior to that, Gary worked as a Divemaster for Fontana Sports, in Madison, Wisc. Gary has traveled extensively and has experience diving many of the diverse reefs in the Caribbean Sea, as well as many of the cold-water lakes in Wisconsin. Gary enjoys working with new students and doing scuba reviews for certified divers looking for a refresher.

I believe that diving is a lifelong adventure. Its something that can be enjoyed by all ages, in all places.

Here close to home I’ve grabbled with 6 foot long sturgeon, wrestled mudpuppies, found treasure, noodled carp, wrestled snapping turtles, and enjoyed dives in countless area lakes through every season.

I’ve also dove clear blue tropical waters that make your spirit ache with the beauty of a miraculous palette of sparkling colors.

I began my SCUBA adventure over 25 years ago in Devils Lake . I love sharing the diving experience, and that passion has carried me all the way to Master Scuba Diver Trainer. For a number of years, I managed the Fontana SCUBA shop coordinating instruction, repairs, rentals,
& sales.
