Divers Manager Joe is originally from Michigan and grew up in Georgia. He learned to dive in Puerto Rico while serving in the US Navy in 1997. Joe immediately fell in love with the sport and began his journey as a dive professional. After owning and operating a stateside dive shop for a few years, he found there was a much better place to do that kind of work and ventured down to the Cayman Islands. He loves exploring the underwater world with the rEvo rebreather as it brings him to a Zen-like state watching the creatures of the sea live their lives as he floats by.

Frankie comes from Bungay, England, and made her first dive in 2004. She got certified so she could help collect data while working with a coral reef restoration project in Fiji. Frankie loves teaching scuba – especially seeing divers’ faces the moment they “get it” and fall in love with the underwater world. If she could, she would teach the entire world to dive just to make everyone happier.

Stephen hails from the Great White North, aka Canada.
If he isn’t underwater using his superpower of taking a full tank and making it empty (no less than 500psi of course) he is on the surface telling tales and sharing his passion for underwater adventures. He also enjoys getting his hands dirty while keeping the boats shipshape.

Meet Arno, the South African ocean mammal at Cayman Brac Reef Divers! With over 10 years of diving experience, he’s pretty much part fish by now. Always happy and up for anything, Arno has a knack for making every dive an adventure – whether he’s teaching or hanging out with sharks (and yes, he’s survived the Sardine Run multiple times). Featured on South African TV and in newspapers, he’s got the ocean knowledge and the stories to prove it.

Born and raised in the world of diving, Cat’s first dive was at 7, thanks to her parents, both diving instructors (guess you could say it runs in the family!). With a master’s degree in marine biology, she’s always excited to identify reef creatures and fish with you.
