Winter – Captain


Christina – Scuba instructor

Christina is a PADI Scuba Diver Trainer at our dive shop with more than 5,000 dives. She was raised in Hong Kong and speaks English, Cantonese, and whatever language the octopuses speak. We call her the “Octopus Whisperer,” as she can always find one to play with. She is also an expert photographer and can always get awesome images of the divers she takes diving. In addition, Christina is also a secret soaper and great fun to be around.


Lauren – Waikiki dive shop manager

Lauren comes to us from Maryland where the water is cooooold! Lauren is attending Hawaii Pacific University where she is currently studying mermaids and their effects on sailors. You can find her at our Waikiki dive shop location taking reservations or renting snorkeling gear and diving gear.


Alexis – MCBH @ Kbay Manager

Alexis comes all the way from the east coast. She started scuba diving back in 2008. She manages our Aqua Zone SCUBA Kaneohe location on the Marine Corps Base. She is also our new dive guide on our catamaran, taking certified divers out to enjoy all the sea life that Hawaii has to offer. She hopes to soon take the plunge to become a PADI instructor.


Devon – Jack of all trades

Devon is a PADI Master Scuba Diving Trainer, NAUI Instructor, SSI Instructor, TDI Instructor, 100 Ton Master Operator, and operations manager for all the shops. He comes from central Oregon, so it is no wonder why he moved here 35 years ago. The only thing he misses is the flyfishing. You can find him in the dive shop taking care of customers or in the bilge of the boat fixing a loose hose.
