Chadwick Johnson
PADI Open Water Instructor
I started diving when I was 11 years old, because my dad let me use his dive gear in the pool, and needless to say I was hooked. Also my best friend, whose father mas my dads good friend's dive buddy, wanted to get certified as well. I Loved it but I never really thought about pursuing a job in the diving field but then a gain I grew up in New York, and did not really dive that much there. I was spoiled from the start I received Junior Open Water in the Bahamas and thereafter did not like diving in the cold ugly waters of New York. Luckily my parents did well for themselves so we were always going to Caribbean locations to go diving. In 2008 I moved to Miami for a change of location and life style. It was not long after I moved to Miami that I wanted to start diving more regularly. I started researching dive shops around Miami that I would want to dive with. It did not take long before after diving with Grove Scuba that I started working here and the rest is history.

Best Diving Experience:
"I can't name just one. Was it the 45 foot whale shark in Honduras? What about the Humback whale in Hawaii? Then there was the tiny juvenile trunkfish on a wreck in the USVI, and the clownfish protecting his anemone in Fiji. The 12 foot lemon shark in Tahiti was cool too, and so was the spunky damselfish in Cozumel. I guess the best part is that I can have fun where ever there is water deep enough to blow bubbles!"
