I’ve been a Cuba Scuba tour leader since the very first trip! I passionately believe in this mission because I love the ocean, diving and the Cuban people. That’s why I’m so inspired to be a part of these realms coming together in a single effort. The first time I visited Cuba, I was struck by the generosity and kindness of the Cubans. Although by comparison they seem to have so little, Cubans are the most giving people I’ve ever met. It only takes one trip to fall in love with the Cuban people. I truly feel what makes Cuba Scuba unique is the heartfelt focus on the people. I’m proud of these unparalleled relationships not only in Cuba’s scientific and conservation community, but also with many individuals making a difference for their families and local community. These friendships are what motivate groups to come back year after year. I’ve known the co-founders, Amy & Bill since 2000. They had a vision that I’m am utterly moved to see come to life. I am so thankful Bill Houghton lived to see his and Amy’s dream come to fruition. His influence and love of the Cuban people will live on in the mission of Cuba Scuba.
From the moment my father and I set foot in Cuba, we knew we had found our ultimate laughing spot – our happy place. Cuban culture stirred my soul unlike any other place I’ve been. The warmth, love and optimism were undeniable. Top it off with pristine ecology, incredible music, architecture, and a revolution with forbidden rum and cigars and I was hooked! I’ve spent the past two decades peeling back Cuba’s complex layers and gaining new exciting ones. Sometimes I feel Cuba is not just a place, but an ever-transitioning part of who I am. The Cuban people are more than my friends. They’ve become family to me. They continue to teach me how to love, serve and never give up. When I look at how God has evolved Cuba Scuba, I am amazed. I hope to be a blessing in some way with those I cross paths and share this ocean-planet.
