    Chris began diving in 1992 at age 14, as a kid he spent summers exploring the shipwrecks off the coast of New Jersey. At 18 he started his professional career as a Divemaster, working locally with classes and boats. Now as a PADI Course Director and Technical Instructor, Chris spends his time teaching everything from Open Water to Technical through Instructor Development Courses. He has certified over 425 recreational and professional students and has over 1300 dives worldwide. He is the Blue Horizons store manager and education specialist.  With certifications in Closed Circuit Rebreathers and Open Circuit Trimix diving, if you have a question about classes or gear, Chris is the one to talk to.

When not teaching, you will find Chris traveling to the far ends of the globe in search of that next diving adventure. When not out of the country, Chris enjoys exploring the local diving from Massachusetts to North Carolina, North Carolina having a special place in his heart. Wreck diving, artifact hunting, and lobstering are his favorites.  More recently Chris has accomplished some deep technical dives to add to his resume.  E-mail or call to chat with Chris anytime.’
