Hello! My name is Jake, I have been a commercial diver for 15 years. I am based out of the United States of America. Went to Santa Barbara City College- Marine Diving Technology program for dive school. In the past I worked at Cal Dive International and started a small commercial diving company. I am an ADCI Surface Supplied Air diver and Surface Supplied Air Supervisor. I am happy to be a part of the group and look forward to meeting you. https://instagram.com/depthbound

Low visability or balckwater makes up about 40% of my dives.
