Nick learned to dive in 2013 while stationed by the Army in Okinawa, Japan.  He and his wife took up the sport as a way to experience the beauty of the Japanese islands.  During his time in Japan, he and his wife traveled Southeast Asia extensively, diving in Japan, the Philippines, and other locations.  After becoming a divemaster in 2015 he returned to the US and was one of the first instructors trained at Patriot Scuba in 2016 and is currently a Master Scuba Diver Trainer.  Nick is a technical diver who loves wreck and sidemount diving.  In addition to teaching scuba, Nick is our in-residence travel agent through his company, Divenamic Dive and Travel.
