Chris Grimes started Florida Gulf Coast Scuba with the idea to share his love of diving with others. Scuba has been a passion for Chris ever since his mother first took him free diving for sea urchins and seashells at the age of five. As he grew, his love for the water grew with him. At ten years old he was introduced to scuba diving by his mother and he earned his first certification by age fifteen. Thereafter he could be found diving the beach in the shallow end of the Gulf of Mexico every chance he had. Chris’s love of scuba has taken him to explore the world; diving everywhere from Thailand to Costa Rica and throughout the Caribbean. Chris is ready to help you achieve all of your diving goals from open water to master diver.
