Marc Canales

Divemaster

Year of Professional Certification: 2024

PADI Level: Divemaster

About Me: My dive buddy and I actually just discussed it on a whim. Something different, just to do. We took the OW course at The Dive Shop and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The real “game changer” was our trip to San Carlos for certification. Once I got into the ocean and went under, the world changed for me. It is a calm and euphoric feeling I will never be able to get enough of. The rest of the world just stops and you can be in the moment. I have to stop because I can just keep going on and on.

Future plans are to dive as often as I can wherever I can. I would like to dive Australia, Philippines, Belize. I would like to see some places I wouldn’t normally go.

Favorite Dive Destination: USS Vandenburg, Key West, FL

Favorite Dive Gear: I love my diving rattle. I love it because it is not very easy to yell at your dive buddy while underwater. My buddy and I both know that when we hear that rattle we need to look at each other.
