tommy gandee V (PADI rescue diver)
After a discovery of scuba dive in Costa Rica, at 11 years old, Tommy finally found his sport. He learned to dive at Edmonds Underwater Park with the Dive Team shortly after this trip. Three years later, Tommy is a rescue diver and enjoys underwater photography, boat diving, diving for crab and diving with my his and team. Some of his favorite dives have been seeing a shark for the first time in Hawaii, exploring the coral reef off Little Cayman Island, and observing the habits of the GPO in Hood Canal, WA. Tommy is always looking forward to his next dive, but when he can’t be underwater he enjoys playing basketball, watching the Seahawks, listening to rap music, and crabbing and fishing off his boat.
