Kurt’s first experience with SCUBA diving came while he was on a Caribbean cruise in St Thomas in 1983, with what is now known as Try SCUBA. He instantly knew this was something he wanted to pursue. The following year he got his Open Water certification and almost immediately started working on becoming a SCUBA instructor.
In 2004 he reached the professional level of Advanced Open Water Instructor, with the ability to teach many of the SSI specialties. Over the years Kurt has lead group diving trips to seventeen different islands throughout the Caribbean, a few of them multiple times, and once to Fiji. When he is not teaching, Kurt enjoys underwater photography and videography.
Kurt, as he puts it “Has a real job. I teach because I enjoy it, not to pay the bills”. During the day he is the Warehouse Manager for a high end welding equipment manufacturer. He and his wife enjoy non-diving related international travel, they have been to several countries throughout Europe.
