I am an SSI Advanced Open Water Instructor and a Level 9 diver with over 43 years worth of diving experience to share with you. I enjoy seeing entry-level divers conquer new skills, existing divers explore new experiences, and all divers challenged to expand their knowledge both this great sport.

My regular job is in the IT field and sometimes involves communication towers. My other hobbies include hiking mountain trails in Colorado, traveling, and working with Amateur radio. Scuba diving enables us to expand our friendships, share common experiences, and learn from each other.

I started diving in the early 80s, and in those few years, I’ve learned that the phrase, “let’s get in the water” is something to live by. Bubble therapy is highly underrated. IIn my life I’ve been blessed with great health, great friends, a wonderful relationship, and the ability to share my passion with others. My dive career started in the Navy in 1985 aboard fast attack submarines. My goal at Diventures is to show “my world” to others by teaching my passion and giving each student the opportunity to make it their world too.

Master Diver Trainer

Steve’s love of all things underwater started in his early years as a junior diver. He grew up in the midwest which meant much of his diving took place in quarries, inland lakes, and reservoirs. Family vacations, sailing tips, and a home in the Florida Keys provided him years of opportunity to dive throughout much of the Caribbean waters. Having thousands of dives logged, Steve’s happy place is teaching and sharing his love for the water with others. After spending the past two years in Puerto Rico guiding and teaching full time, his wife and himself moved to Kansas City to be closer to the family and grandchildren. Steve is an Independent Master Diver Trainer. He takes the responsibility of instruction very seriously and wants to make sure that all students have fun learning in a safe and comfortable environment. Not on the water, Steve likes looking for new equipment, riding his bicycle, and watching the Chiefs in action.
