About Me

Welcome. My name is Joel, and my favorite thing to do is scuba diving. Nothing makes me happier than to take pictures, record videos, and share them with friends and fellow divers. I got PADI certified to scuba dive in 1999. HOWEVER, it was just a short-lived hobby that was too expensive at the time to continue. I took a 17 year break and was re-certified in 2016 by Mr. Ross Phillips from Austin, TX. Since then, I’ve logged approximately 400 dives all around the Caribbean.

I completed the PADI Instructor Development Course and exam over a one month period in August 2019 at Rainbow Reef in Key Largo, Florida. I’m also a certified instructor of many of my favorite specialties: Deep Diving, Night Diving, Wreck Diving and many more. You can see a list of most of the classes I can teach by clicking on the COURSES tab at the top of the page. I don’t currently teach, so if you need a recommendation in Austin or the Caribbean, I’d be glad to refer you to someone.

Back in 2017, I completed the PADI Divemaster certification over a one month period in Cozumel at Blue Angel Resort. I have spent more than 6 months of my life diving in Cozumel and other Caribbean destinations, like Belize, Tulum, and the Socorro Islands.

Also, I own Greenbelt DJ Productions, an Austin wedding DJ company in Texas. You can check us out at www.GreenbeltDJ.com.
