You think you love the water? But you merely adopted the water; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't sea the shore until I was already a man. By virtue of my parents I started my scuba journey when I was a ripe 4 years old. I love diving where it is warm and pretty and there is plenty of aquatic life to see. My joy with scuba diving comes with teaching new and experienced divers alike, and getting in the occasional dive with my forever dive buddy, Lisa.

Hey there, I'm Greg, but my friends call me Gregalodon. I have been diving since 2012 and am a PADI MSDT Instructor. I enjoy helping people fulfill their dream of learning how to scuba dive. My favorite diving is offshore wreck dives and hunting for Megalodon shark teeth. Hands down, my favorite dive vacation is Bonaire. Diving is life; anything else is a surface interval!!
