Meet the Team
While we don’t have enough room for everyone, here are a few of the key players.
Andrew Etheridge
CEO
If you were to ask him, Andrew would tell you he is happiest when he is diving a deep wreck on trimix. After becoming open water certified in 2013 the scuba bug bit him hard and he quickly advanced to technical diving. Andrew is a NAUI Instructor and is certified for trimix on the JJ-CCR and Dive Rite O2ptima.
Eric Hernandez
Vice President
Eric is our senior instructor. Coming into diving in 2014, he quickly surpassed all of our other members with time on the water. This happens quickly when you are retired and can dive all day while your friends are in the office! Eric is certified for mixed gases on the O2ptima and instructs for a variety of courses through IANTD and NAUI.
Mark Kays
Vice President
Its hard to find Mark these days. He splits his time diving deep wrecks and exploring the caves of North Florida. Mark is certified for mixed gases on the JJ-CCR and the Dive Rite O2ptima. He is also CCR Cave certified and a current IANTD and NAUI Instructor. Mark started diving seriously in 2012 and hasn’t looked back.
