Geoff Phillips
Founder - Owner
I began my aquatic career as a lifeguard at a local YMCA. I got hooked on scuba through my uncle who was a Police Diver and I was certified during college. Fast forward over ten years and I have the honor of diving with an amazing team of Public Safety Divers. Safety has been a major focus from life guarding now to Public Safety Diving. My joy comes from seeing new divers experience the beauty of the underwater world in a safe and personal way.
