MEET THE TEAM
Scott Cadreau
Technical and Rebreather Instructor
I started diving in 2010 and fell in love with the sport. I became a PADI instructor at the end of 2010 and crossed over to SDI/TDI in 2011 as a technical dive instructor. I am qualified to teach all the way to Advanced Trimix with both agencies. I split my time between Arizona and Key Largo teaching.

Co-Head, Retail, Staff Instructor
My passion for scuba diving started on a whim – in 2014 my wife purchased OW certs for us for Christmas. Best gift ever – I’ve been in love with diving ever since! I was proud to become an instructor in 2019, but quickly became aware that I’m barely scratching the surface of where I can go and what I can learn. A former Army medic and nurse, I enjoy not only sharing with students a love for diving, but also how to care for and protect our aquatic environments. When I’m not diving, I enjoy backpacking, playing pickup basketball, and playing video games with my kids.

9 years later, scuba diving has allowed me to travel the world with a whole new perspective. Over the years I became a PADI scuba instructor, a technical diver, and a rebreather diver. I’m excited about all my future underwater experiences! Try it out for yourself – it will change your life!

I’m a Buckeye transplant in AZ. I started my diving at the request of my brother wanting to dive for Megalodon shark teeth in the shark tooth capital of the world, Venice Florida. I’m very happy that those sharks are long dead! The first couple of dives were fun, visibility was 2-3 feet. After not finding many teeth or seeing much aquatic life I decided to dive in the Florida Keys. That’s when I fell in love with diving – warm, clear water with tons of fish. It’s diving in a salt water aquarium. Certified in 2012 and my only regret is I don’t dive more often.
I love seeing new divers “get it” and start a long-term love affair with diving. My favorite spot is Truk Lagoon in Micronesia. It’s full of history and wrecks, wrecks and more wrecks. Certified on a Hollis rebreather I’m looking forward to multiple trips back to Truk. I’m always ready to share this underwater world with new and existing divers and helping them increase skills.
Jon Fernandez
Instructor
I’ve been scuba diving since 2016. All three of my daughters are certified and have gone diving in La Jolla, Maui and Florida. The goal for the next few years is to travel and dive the world!
I completed my Divemaster training in 2018, helping dozens of students become divers. The best part of helping new divers with their classes is that moment when you see it click in the eyes and you know they have been bitten by the scuba bug!
Emma Kingston
E-Commerce Manager, Divemaster
I started diving in 2018 and haven’t stopped! I love that it has a little of everything – there’s the zen of it all, the science of diving, the three fish that are our friends in Lake Pleasant, and the trips to wonderful places. For me, starting a whole new sport has been a fun challenge.
Mostly though, it’s the friends I made along the way at Sea 2 Sea Scuba – my second home. Come dive with me on a Thursday night or hang out on the couch at the shop!

Due to Covid , I lost my Production Manager job… this opened the door to get back into Scuba Diving.
I became a Dive Master 4.2021.
I was lucky enough the kind employees at Sea2Sea hired me.
I have been heavily involved with the Shop and classes since then….
