Chuck Motschman - Advanced Open Water Instructor - SCUBA Ranger Instructor - Diving since 1988
My passion for diving began 32 years ago. Scuba diving first captured my attention while working offshore in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) in the late 80’s and I became an SSI certified diver in 1988. I love to explore beneath the surface of the water and have not been disappointed. Over the years I have increased my love of diving through recreational experience, training, working part-time as a diver at Houston’s Downtown Aquarium’s shark exhibit (sharks are my favorite), and participating in the annual NOAA expeditions out to the Flower Garden Banks in the (GOM). My favorite dive place is Cozumel, Mexico. Warm water and calm currents provide easy drift diving that never disappoints. I currently hold multiple instructor certifications, but my passion is teaching new Open Water dive students the sport. It’s always exciting, and I look forward to sharing my experiences with others.
