Captain Jim
Captain Jim comes to us as a graduate of G.W.Hewlett High School
Via Danbury CT.
After 40 years in electrical construction and a 10 year stint as a facilities engineer he took his PADI Master instructor credentials and 100 Ton Master captain’s license and began what was to be the most rewarding of his careers.
“I never realized how rewarding it would be to show others the beauty of the undersea world and know that possibly I’ve shown them something that might change their lives. An adventure for the whole family to share together. “
Now you might see Captain Jim on the bridge of Pirates Obsession or Pirates Paradise. He is now taking our guests to the local dive sites around Palm Beach.
If he’s not on one of the boats driving
or doing maintenance or sometimes even diving, you might find him playing ice hockey 2 or 3 times a week.

Donna S
Donna Smith discovered scuba diving in 1992 and embraced it wholeheartedly. After countless trips from the Carolinas to Florida between work and kids, in 2008, she was finally able to leave her day job and move to Florida. Donna is a PADI master instructor and has been teaching since 2006. She travels all over the world and has thousands of dives under her belt. Liveaboard diving is her favorite (eat sleep and dive). She can often be heard saying "its not a real job I wear my bathing suit to work, and I don't wear shoes.” A mermaid at heart and a scuba diving junkie, she loves to be underwater showing customers the wonders of our beautiful waters! Donna has two daughters and six grandchildren, and she is known for her skills in the kitchen and underwater navigation - both of which are chefs kiss.
