Hi I am Captain Bob! Originally from Fort Lauderdale. But I have lived in the beautiful Florida Keys for 50 years. I have been a commercial captain the the Keys for over 30 years…but taking boats to the Bahamas much much earlier than that. But that is a story for in person!

Hello, my name is Mike. I was born in Utah and raised in California and Arizona as a child.

I joined the Army at the age of seventeen after graduating high school. I served for twenty two years as a Combat Medic and as a Physician Assistant.

My retirement present to myself was to become a Dive Instructor and teach overseas. My first teaching job was in Fiji, and I spent another year teaching in Mexico. However, Key Largo is my home now and I love to share our reefs with all that come visit our magical island.

Captain Robert Saylor is a Florida Keys native, born in Key West and raised in Key Largo. He has been sailing and diving since age 12 and has run a variety of sailing, sightseeing, and dive charters since getting his captain’s license in 2017

I’m Caesar and I became Dive Certified and began Scuba Diving August 1986. I have been Diving ever since for both work and pleasure. My childhood friend and I used to watch Jacques Cousteau’s Under Sea World and as a result became interested in and wanted to experience the undersea world ourselves, so we became Dive Certified.

Hey I am Kevin! I was born and raised in Arizona, and married with three children. I served as a police officer for 24 years as a K9 Officer, Sergeant and Detective retiring August 1, 2021.

I’m a curious person and a prior detective and knowing only 5% of earths oceans have been charted and explored, I was impelled to become a certified diver and start exploring the ocean.

Hello future Silent World Dive Center visitors! My name is Brad and I am your friendly Captain or Scuba Instructor. I am originally from Detroit and spent the majority of my years as a Porsche Mechanic from Detroit. However Detroit had one big problem – no sailing, and it was cold…basically always. So I headed south to Sunny South Florida!

Hello everyone! My name is Shelby and I am a PADI IDC Staff Instructor and the general manager of Silent World Dive Center. I am a life long Floridian and I spent the ages of 0-10 living on a sailboat with my family in Coconut Grove, Fl. I love everything that has to do with the ocean and the majority of my time is spent scuba diving, snorkeling, kite boarding and sailing.

Hi guys, my name is Yasmin and I am the manager of Silent World Dive Center.

I’m also a PADI Rescue diver and have been diving since 2019, which is pretty new compared to the oldies but I can say that these past two years of diving have taught me a bunch. I like to say “every new dive is always a new experience”.

Hi everyone! My name is Rena and I am Silent World’s Director of Conservation.

After obtaining my degree from Towson University, I began my scuba journey diving off the coast of South Africa. Coral restoration research and marine conservation outreach brought me to the sunny Florida Keys. You’ll be sure to learn about our beautiful marine ecosystem while diving and snorkeling with us! From fish and invertebrate identification, coral conservation, shark behavior, and more!

Howdy! My name is Mallory and I’m from Manhattan Kansas! I fell in love with the ocean when I was 4 years old and dreamt of living by the water since then. I began scuba diving when I was 16 and I am working towards becoming a dive master! I love to teach, inform, and make people smile. My goal is to help as many people enjoy and love the ocean as much as I do!

Hi everyone! My name is Gabrielle, but I also go by G (yes, just the letter G!). I’m originally from Canada but moved around a bunch growing up and have spent most of my time in the US. Wanting to be a mermaid doctor eventually led to me attaining a degree at the University of Miami. Covid unfortunately cut my time there short, but it did lead into me pursuing marine mammal training in the Keys where I worked as a dolphin trainer for two years before moving over to fisheries biology at FWC. Wanting to explore more of the underwater world led me to pursue diving more and now you can find me at Silent World telling anyone who will listen about dolphins and manatees (and the odd fish)!

I am originally from Atlanta, Georgia and have lived in Miami for the past 20 years.

I founded Grove Scuba in 2006 and I am a PADI Platinum Course Director. I am also a CPR and First Aid Instructor Trainer, as well as a DAN Instructor Trainer who is actively involved in diver safety training.

Hello, my name is Emily! Originally from Wisconsin, I wanted to escape winter and ended up in the Keys! When I’m not a deck hand on the boat you can find me working as a dental assistant or out on my paddle board exploring the mangroves. Conservation of our oceans and coastlines is a huge passion of mine and I do regular shoreline cleanups, trash pickup dives, participate in lionfish derbies, and I have my own jewelry brand where I make jewelry out of lionfish fins! I hope to see you on out the boat soon!
