My first SCUBA experience was in St Kitts and my very first dive was on a wreck in 2011! Loved it ever since, which is why I am enthusiastic about sharing and teaching SCUBA to people of all ages. When I see the expression in a student’s eyes when they realize they are breathing underwater is priceless to me! My passion has pushed me to continue to garner as many specialties as possible and to dive in as much of worlds waters as I can!

Ever since I was a kid I loved the water and everything in it. Going to the aquarium to see the fish was what I looked forward to the most of any place I could go as a kid. As soon as I found out I could be in the water swimming with the fish I was hooked! I LOVE SCUBA!!

Stuart Schwartz
All it took was being asked to go on a dive vacation to Belize...Where do I sign up?? Certified in July 2015 and have not looked back, except for dive buddies along the way. Whether you roll of the boat, step off or stroll in from the beach, it's a new adventure I will never forget! My favorite dive location is still Belize, but Cozumel, Cancun, Roatan, San Carlos and so many others are very close seconds!
John Lowry
I have always loved being in the water, my first exposure to Scuba was over 30 years ago with a family members gear in a small pool. I have wanted to do it ever since, life slowed me down and delayed my ability to devote the time and money to it until 2010. I have loved it ever since, under the water is my personal Zen palace. And all the daily stress ad worries just disappear. I decided to help others find this peace, with a little encouragement from the Shop team. And we will see where this adventures takes me.
