With over 4,000 dives in the books, James has been actively involved in the underwater realm since he got certified in 2008. An IDC Staff Instructor, James is passionate about sharing his love and knowledge of SCUBA with others. Having traveled all over the world to dive, he still finds Monterey diving to far exceed even the most sought-after dive sites worldwide. Both above and below water, James enjoys teaching, from instructing our PADI courses to teaching the SCUBA program at San Jose State University. If he isn't underwater, he is likely tinkering at the shop, working to improve daily operations. Once in a while, you will find him away from work - enjoying the quiet of our Central California coastline.
