CREW


Captain

Ronnie Wakefield

Ronnie has worked in the dive industry for the past decade as a PADI, YMCA and IANTD instructor. Additionally, he holds cave and tri-mix dive certifications. He came to us as an instructor on the Blackbeard's Sloops and worked his way up to Captain of the Pirate's Lady. When he is not SCUBA diving, you can find Ronnie tweeking the sheet for a perfect sail.



Dive Instructor

Stephanie Tester

Steph is originally from Greensboro, NC. Her mother is French so she has spent a lot of time in France. Steph lived in England for 10 years and worked for a dive tour operator based in London. Finally, tiring of the cold and dreary months in England, she earned her instructors licence. She moved to the Bahamas where she worked as an instructor on the Pirate's Lady of the Blackbeard's Fleet. She is also multi-lingual speaking French, Spanish and sometimes English :-)



Engineer Extraordinaire

Scott Winchester

Scott has been diving since 1986 and did his first dive in the Phillipines. From there it became a fascination that kept him traveling and diving around the world. Scott has visited 28 countries or islands where he went diving either for vacation or work. He taught scuba for 14 years with YMCA and IANTD and became an Instructor Trainer for those agencies. His favorite dive destination was the island of Phuket just off the coast of Thailand but Palau and Truk also rank up there also. His passion has been diving, and now he's ready to learn to sail the Bahamas!
