BRUCE SAWYER grew up far from the sea in Lexington, KY. A tour of duty with the US Marine Corps (’65-’69) provided a first introduction to the aquatic world, though learning to dive had to wait a few years. After a stint in graduate school at the University of Wisconsin (MA in Mathematics, ’73; MS in Computer Sciences, ’75), he ended up working for a computer manufacturer in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and that provided the first good opportunity to learn scuba diving. First certified in 1977, he has been diving ever since, Bruce has completed over 2000 dives and attained the rating of PADI Master Scuba Diver some years ago. His diving career has taken him all over the world in search of the best dive destinations. Now retired from the electronics industry in Silicon Valley, Bruce is our resident Course Director.
Bruce is a PADI Course Director, Emergency First Response Instructor Trainer, and holds PADI Specialty Instructor and Specialty Instructor Trainer ratings in almost all of the PADI specialties. Additionally, Bruce is a DAN (Diver’s Alert Network) Instructor for all of the DAN courses.
