I have been around water most of my life as a competitive swimmer, a lifeguard, and since 2014, a diver. I am a level 2 diver. The first time that I dove I was hooked because of the feeling of being free and the opportunity to explore new things.
My love for diving started with my dad, a Navy diver in Vietnam, teaching me how to snorkel in our swimming pool. After my first successful pool dive, I was hooked. I am a level 8 diver and my husband Joe and I both instruct for Diventures; we love sharing our passion for diving with others. My favorite sea creature is the seahorse, and my latest focus has been on digital videography and capturing the action to share with others back on land.
Bill is a level 9 diver and lives in Florida but travels north to Iowa during the summer months. He was an educator in Iowa for over 30 years and being an SSI instructor enables Bill to combine his passion for being underwater with his love for education. As an avid underwater photographer, Bill has captured underwater sights around the world. Bill would welcome the opportunity to help you learn to dive, tune up or increase your skills, or have you contact him to just talk diving!

Swimming has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. I became a lifeguard at the age of 15 and have loved helping people enjoy the water ever since. I swam competitively at the youth, high school, and collegiate levels. I enjoy sharing my passion with others.
I was so confident about my ability and love for diving, that I actually purchased a total dive package before signing up for my first class. I showed up to the pool with every piece of dive equipment I would ever need, even had it all in a travel dive bag. That was in 2007. I never stopped taking classes and advancing my career. I became a dive professional in 2009. Now I dive with two of my kids who are certified also. My first dive in the ocean was with sharks in the Bahamas. I dove in Guam, the only place in the world where you can touch a WW1 and WW2 shipwreck at the same time. The earth is 70% water, might as well get under those waves and see what’s going on!
I am a level 8 diver and have been diving since 2007. I have traveled to many places to dive both in salt water and fresh water. I love to photograph the underwater world and share my experiences with others.
I fell in love with diving at the age of 14. The ability to breathe underwater and experience an entire other world amazes me every dive. From getting certified in the Turks and Caicos islands to taking my most recent trip to Cozumel I’ve seen things that I never imagined. I am a level 1 diver and I can’t wait for my next dive!
I’m a level 4 diver and an Assistant Instructor. I’ve enjoyed being in and around water my whole life and have been diving since 2007. With a background in teaching, pursuing my instructor rating with Diventures is a natural fit. I love to share the beautiful underwater world with others!
I am a level 6 diver and have always been fascinated with the underwater world and learned to dive in 2007. I still remember the feeling of taking my first breathe underwater and I love being able to help others experience that.
Riley has been diving since 2015 and is a level 1 diver. He dives with his family whenever he gets the chance and is happy to share his passion with others.
I grew up spending a lot of time on the water and water activities have always been among my favorite hobbies. Summers were always spent boating, fishing, swimming and wakeboarding.
I’ve always loved pools and the ocean and have been swimming as long as I can remember. I fell in love with diving during my open water certification in the Turks and Caicos. I am a level 1 diver and can’t wait for my next trip.
