As his diving addiction grew, Tim eventually became a Staff Instructor with PADI and an Instructor Trainer with SDI. After getting his instructor certification, Tim spent time teaching scuba in Malaysia and Vietnam. Tim serves as General Manager and COO at Bluewater Travel and is the company's most seasoned trip leader.
