Austin is fascinated by every creature above and below the sea since before he could walk. He's studied coral reefs in Belize, dove with giant clams on the Great Barrier Reef, searched for fossils in Charleston's rivers, and guided scuba divers in Colombia, South America. His lifelong goal is to help people see the world in a fresh light, and to more fully appreciate the richness and value of life on earth. With eight years of diving experience, Austin is always excited to share the SCUBA experience with new and veteran divers.
When not under the water, Austin is a professional cellist, entrepreneur, published writer, web designer, cyclist, sailor, farmer, professional filmmaker, YouTube creator, hitch-hiker, speaker, Spanish aficionado, science tutor, Latin dancer, explorer, and renaissance man.
