Over the years, he has worked hard and has risen to Open Water Scuba Instructor.  He enjoys teaching and sharing his enthusiasm with others for the underwater world. Chris’s patience, commitment to the task/students, and diligence are often highly complimented on by his students.  

Chris is also an ISO 9001 certified scuba regulator repair technician, a PSI certified tank inspector and IANTD certified gas blender.

When Chris is not at his "full-time" job in Atlanta, you will often find him in the store helping out customers, servicing equipment or either assisting somewhere in the store. If you ever have a question or need help with any scuba related issues, he is more than happy and willing to assist you in anyway he can. But, be sure you allow plenty of time to talk about it, because he is sure to engage your time with his passion for scuba.

He continues to pursue his interest and education in the diverse areas of scuba diving such as technical diving, gas blending, and keeping up with the “latest and greatest” in the scuba diving industry.

Cecilia started diving in 1990, because her husband kept “bugging her” about    it.  Now she’s an IDC Staff Instructor, an EFR Instructor, and can teach numerous specialties.  She has coined the phrase “DISCOVER THE MAGIC OF DIVING” because of her love of diving and teaching.  If you ask her what her favorite Caribbean spot is, she’ll smile and say “they all are”, just give her the sun and water.  You can’t miss her at the dive site for two reasons, the multi-colored  fish skin she wears and her ever-present smile.

Cecilia attended the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and is currently attending Troy University to obtain her BS in Sports and Fitness Management. She has a passion to help others first realize, then achieve their dreams!

Course Director, Conrad Rucker, is an incredible mentor and instructor and has a true passion and love for the sport of scuba diving. After watching the show “Sea Hunt” he began his diving career in 1978 and now has made a      commitment to help others “Discover the Magic of Teaching”. He exemplifies   the high standards that PADI has set, and thrives on seeing others reach their potential. At 6’4” and 260lbs (former tight end for the Houston Oilers and   Tampa Bay Buc’s) he has a presence about him that others gravitate to.  Because of his tremendous thirst for knowledge and with thousands of dives under his belt, he immediately commands your attention and respect when he begins to speak, or tells one of his famous dive stories.  Cozumel still holds     the spot as his favorite dive destination.
