The ocean is my passion, and I like to share it with properly trained and equipped divers, who feel the same way. I actually enjoy diving with less experienced divers as much as I like to dive with the most experienced ones - for me it’s all about the attitude and dedication. I’m down to one boat out of two I used to own, but they use to cost me tens of thousands of dollars to properly upkeep every year. I have repower my boat and it is very fuel efficient now and my costs are more reasonable now. It cost a little more to dive off a private boat, but there is nothing like the flexibility and enjoyment of diving unspoiled spots on a private boat and with small groups. I am retired and have all the time I want to go anywhere I want with friends and dive charter clients.
I am a Master Scuba Diver and a US Merchant Marine Officer, licensed as a Master of Steam or Motor Vessels - 100 Gross Registered Tons, with over 40 years experience both as a diver and a sailor. Retired from the US Coast Guard and currently living in the Stuart, FL area. My playgrounds extend all the way from Southeast Florida to the Lesser Antilles, with numerous hours under the waters off the Florida Keys, the Bahamas, and Puerto Rico.
Stay tuned, I will be posting on possible upcoming trips.
