Advanced Open Water Instructor
 

       Mark was very young when he first got certified, as his uncle was an instructor, so he was basically born diving! Mark joined the Heroes Team in 2015 when he moved to the Dunedin area. Mark's favorite part about diving is the peaceful feeling he gets underwater and the ability to shut off all the clutter of life on the surface. When Mark isnt diving, he is probably out with his wife, Melissa, who also works with HDC.
