Colin Devries
I thoroughly enjoy the sport of scuba diving. I begin back when the sport was not as popular as it is now and there were few divers to share the sport with until my wife Charlotte joined me. Once I began diving, the other recreational actives fell by the wayside. I sold my golf clubs and dove every chance I could.

I have done different types of diving over the years: commercial, law enforcement dive team, instructional, search and recovery. I have been a scuba instructor at WMDC for 25 years and enjoy helping others to enjoy the sport I love. Over that period of time I have certified more than 1100 divers.

People who dive are some of the friendliest and fun loving people there are. I have had the pleasure to meet many wonderful divers including Jacques Cousteau (the father of scuba) and the ex prime minister of Canada, Pierre Trudeau.

My favorite underwater activity is photography. The specialty classes I like to teach best are: Deep, Wreck and Search & Recovery.

Diving and travel go hand in hand. I have worked as a travel coordinator for groups and individual for twenty years. This has allowed me to travel to many exotic locations. I have dove on all continents but Europe and Antarctica. Perhaps this should be my future goal but that last one is a bit cold.
