Having always loved the water, Jeff spent 12 years in the Navy, during which time he fell in love with being UNDER the water after completing his first scuba diving course in 2005 while stationed North of Jacksonville, FL. Since that time, he has done hundreds of dives and found a love of all types of diving, from shallow reef dives to deep wreck dives to cave diving. Whether warm tropical water, colder quarries, or cool spring waters, Jeff finds enjoyment in diving just about anywhere.

Having discovered a love of helping others and teaching while an instructor in the Navy Nuclear Training Program, and having a love of diving, Jeff decided to become an Open Water Scuba Instructor so he could continue teaching while sharing his passion for the underwater world with others.

Additionally, he enjoys underwater photography for the ability it conveys to capture the beauty that is found where only scuba divers go and being able to share those images with others.
