Brad began his journey into the world of scuba diving in 2013.
After his initial PADI Open Water Course, he was hooked and quickly progressed under the guidance of great instructors and mentors to achieve his Instructor designation in 2017. In regards to instruction, Brad has always been focused on instilling a love of the sport into his students and above all else, producing safe, competent divers.
