Mike served as a US Navy Hospital Corpsman, with most of that career spent with the Marines. He has been in the Emergency Services (Medical, Fire Fighter, Law Enforcement) in some form since 1985 across the US and a few other countries. Mike’s favorite classes to teach are Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diving. When Mike is not teaching, he can be found doing woodworking, boating, camping and of course Scuba Diving.

From a very young age Charlotte has had an affinity for being in the water. She first considered SCUBA diving in college but was deterred by the initial financial investment. After putting off it for nearly 10 years she finally dove in and earned her basic open water certification from SDC in Oct 2018. Since then, she has been consuming as much information as she can to become a more knowledgeable and skilled diver. Charlotte began working as a Sales Associate with Sound Dive in 2021, and she aspires to become a Dive Master, and eventually a SCUBA Instructor.
"Scuba diving has changed my life. Full stop. I have to actively remind myself to not dwell on the decade of missed diving opportunities and enjoy every chance I have now to be breathing underwater! It is so exciting to explore the world beneath the surface. For me, any dive is a great dive if I get to dive with a jellyfish. They bring joy to me in ways I didn't think possible prior to being certified. I always love to see them in aquariums, but diving with them up close is just a happy surreal experience. I am also very fond of wolf eels, as they are the curmudgeons of the sea, and the Giant Plumose Anemone that we have here in the Pacific North West. Plus the ethereal frosted nudibranchs! You have to come diving and see it all for yourself."
