Brent is diving for 12 years and teaching for 7 years now. He mainly dives in California. He loves it the most, because of its diversity. Catalina Island has to offer almost everything in one place: deep sandy spots, shallow reefs, kelp forests, sea lions, bat rays and plenty more. He also dived many warm water places such as the Caribbean, Baja Mexico, Hawaii, where he enjoyed the the colorful sea life, but he still loves California the most. His favorite specialty  is Wreck Diving in San Diego, where he can dive numerous different wrecks quite close to each-other.

DAVE CLARK

Dave started diving about four years ago and he is another one of those who has never stopped since that day. His love for the Ocean went even that far, that he has quit his "real job" and all he wants to do is scuba diving. Ever since he was a kid he was dreaming about the Galapagos, where Darwin wrote his theory about the evolution, and finally last year he have spent an amazing time diving and hiking around the islands.

Steve is a real dive fanatic! He never misses a chance to get in the  
water, especially here in California. He loves to take underwater  
photos. One of his favorite subject are the kelp forests found in  
local waters. He's an enthusiastic teacher, certified in Open Water  
Instruction and Nitrox Instruction, as well as Deep, Navigation and  
Dry Suit Specialties. He is also an EFR Instructor, and is currently  
pursuing certification as an EMT.

One of Walter's favorite dives were in Guadalupe island with Great White Sharks. You can see his pictures at our photo gallery page.

Simon has great people skills and loves to work with divers who need a little more time to get comfortable in the water. Tara and Simon have also participated in our Great White adventures and you will find them on most Truth Aquatics charters diving with Aqua Adventures. 

JOSH LAZIE 
Divemaster

Josh started diving after watching the Perfect Storm with his son, who said that it would be the coolest thing if he could do the same thing. So, he did. When he became a Divemaster, he moved to Thailand for a while to dive and enjoy the beauty of the country. Now, he is back in California enjoying the Channel Islands. He is in love with sharks and with the Ocean generally. If he could, he would just dive all the time. (Who wouldn't?)  

PETER K WIGGINS

Earle's favorite place is California and Hawaii. Whenever he gets to go on a holiday, he dives Kona, otherwise you can find him almost every weekend around Catalina somewhere. 

EILEEN KENNY
Divemaster
Medical Consultant

Eileen used to love any kind of diving, but she got spoiled rafter her trip to Costa Rica with whale sharks, hammer-heads and such. Check out her pictures on our Cocos site! Her "real job" is a nurse, therefore every time we teach a Dive Emergency Provider Training, she is there and gives great tips for divers to help other divers while waiting for EMS.

STEVE GUERRERRO 
Instructor Level: PADI OWSI Instructor

Steve prefers to dive in warm waters, but he loves California diving too!!! He has a regular job in the movie industry, however he spends his free time diving as much as possible. As you probably feel the same way, it just never seems to be enough. Steve became an Instructor two years ago and since he trained several stunt girls and guys diving.

MIKE ROTH
Divemaster

Many moons ago, while on vacation in Maui, Mike thumbed through a hotel catalogue looking to take advantage of the water activities the Hawaiian Islands had to offer and stumbled upon scuba. Whoa!! What?  SCUBA?  Really!?? You can do that for real!!  After a bit of contemplation (you know, the kind where you weigh how safe is this really, verses how cool am I gonna be when I tell my buddies back home I did scuba), Mike made the obvious choice and signed on for an introductory dive.  Immediately following his first breath of compressed air at depth, he knew he found his calling. After relaying his junior scuba experience to friend and former neighbor Bruce (who is fatefully Greg’s cousin), Mike opted for Bruce’s suggestion, and pursued a scuba certification at Aqua Adventures where he soon found his diving home and root of his diving friends.  After three years of diving and completing a handful of certifications, Mike decided its high-time he take the next step to become a DM.  Mike enjoys sharing his enthusiasm for scuba with diving veterans, newbie’s, those on the fence, and even those who have zero interest (too bad for them).  To Mike diving isn’t a hobby, sport, or activity…..it’s a life style.  Wet or dry.  So let’s dive, baby!! YEAH!!
