Jim has been a boater since the late 1970's and started diving in 2000. He has a strong aversion to cold water and frequents the tropics. His goal is to visit an new island each year and hopes someday to relocate to one. In the meantime, he likes to do local lake and Gulf diving. Jim has held various positions on the BAD Board of Directors. 2003

Jose Garcia   Jose became certified at age 13. He first got interested in diving after watching Jacques Cousteau on the television as a young boy. Jose said he was immediately "hooked" on diving, and both his brother and his mother became certified about the same time he first got started. Jose has been a Dive Master for 6 years, and he previously worked on the MV Fling for a few years as a Master Scuba Diver. Now, he volunteers at the aquarium at Moody Gardens and both of his adult children are divers. Jose's favorite spots to dive are The Flower Gardens and Cozumel.

Steven Giesler  

Steve has been diving for 35 years. He learned to dive while in Marine graduate school at Port Aransas doing fish research. He became a member of BAD in the early eighties and has been on many club sponsored trips from Mexico & Central America, to the Flower Gardens and Texas lakes. In 1994, during a stretch of unemployment he decided to use his airline miles & fly to Australia and New Zealand. While on the East coast of Australia he was compelled to dive the Great Barrier reef on a 4 day live aboard boat. The main difference diving there is that the aquatic life fish & clams are much bigger-than say Cozumel--but not as many.
He is currently serving as the club Treasurer and has served this position in the past as well as being on the Board of Directors.

His favorite spot to dive is Cozumel and he is currently volunteering at Moody Gardens as a diver. His favorite thing about diving is "the view"! 2007
