Wayne is a senior member of our instructional staff. He learned to dive in 1988 in Pittsburgh, PA and spent his early dive career diving in Florida, the Great Lakes, and freshwater lakes and quarries throughout the northeast. He completed his Divemaster certification and joined the staff at Aquatic Adventures in 1999 and earned his first Instructor ratings in 2000. Since then Wayne has taught several hundred students and logged over 1000 dives. In addition to diving extensively throughout the Caribbean, Wayne has also dived the Galapagos Islands, Australia, California and the shipwrecks off of North Carolina. His passion underwater is photography, and Wayne has several examples of his work on display at Aquatic Adventures. When not diving he is an avid photographer and enjoys playing volleyball and cycling.
