Hi I am Captain Bob! Originally from Fort Lauderdale. But I have lived in the beautiful Florida Keys for 50 years. I have been a commercial captain the the Keys for over 30 years…but taking boats to the Bahamas much much earlier than that. But that is a story for in person!

Hello, my name is Mike. I was born in Utah and raised in California and Arizona as a child.

I joined the Army at the age of seventeen after graduating high school. I served for twenty two years as a Combat Medic and as a Physician Assistant.

My retirement present to myself was to become a Dive Instructor and teach overseas. My first teaching job was in Fiji, and I spent another year teaching in Mexico. However, Key Largo is my home now and I love to share our reefs with all that come visit our magical island.

Captain Robert Saylor is a Florida Keys native, born in Key West and raised in Key Largo. He has been sailing and diving since age 12 and has run a variety of sailing, sightseeing, and dive charters since getting his captain’s license in 2017

I’m Caesar and I became Dive Certified and began Scuba Diving August 1986. I have been Diving ever since for both work and pleasure. My childhood friend and I used to watch Jacques Cousteau’s Under Sea World and as a result became interested in and wanted to experience the undersea world ourselves, so we became Dive Certified.

Hello future Silent World Dive Center visitors! My name is Brad and I am your friendly Captain or Scuba Instructor.

So I headed south to Sunny South Florida!

Hey I am Kevin! I was born and raised in Arizona, and married with three children. I served as a police officer for 24 years as a K9 Officer, Sergeant and Detective retiring August 1, 2021.

I’m a curious person and a prior detective and knowing only 5% of earths oceans have been charted and explored, I was impelled to become a certified diver and start exploring the ocean.

Hi guys, my name is Yasmin and I am the manager of Silent World Dive Center.

Hi everyone! My name is Rena and I am Silent World’s Director of Conservation.

After obtaining my degree from Towson University, I began my scuba journey diving off the coast of South Africa. Coral restoration research and marine conservation outreach brought me to the sunny Florida Keys. You’ll be sure to learn about our beautiful marine ecosystem while diving and snorkeling with us! From fish and invertebrate identification, coral conservation, shark behavior, and more!

Howdy! My name is Mallory and I’m from Manhattan Kansas! I fell in love with the ocean when I was 4 years old and dreamt of living by the water since then. I began scuba diving when I was 16 and I am working towards becoming a dive master! I love to teach, inform, and make people smile. My goal is to help as many people enjoy and love the ocean as much as I do!

I am originally from Atlanta, Georgia and have lived in Miami for the past 20 years.

I founded Grove Scuba in 2006 and I am a PADI Platinum Course Director. I am also a CPR and First Aid Instructor Trainer, as well as a DAN Instructor Trainer who is actively involved in diver safety training.

I was born in Miami FL, raised in Greenwich, CT but my heart has always belonged to New York City.

Hi everyone, my name is Matt! I have been diving since 2002 and instructing for the last 10 years. I grew up diving in New England and can personally guarantee the diving in Key Largo is much better!
