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. |

| 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. |

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. |

He started diving in 2006,
"for the babes"...........but officially Kyle's reason he
started diving he wanted to learn to dive "because it sounded
like fun!" Kyle joined BAD in the summer of 2007 so he could
spend time with other divers, and of course..........so he could
DIVE MORE!~ Kyle has 5 children who he enjoys spending time
with. 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"! |
