Real Images of our staff - Emeritus - The one's that have passed by:

BulletJohn " JR " Rhodes- Operations Manager/Dive Instructor

JR?"JR." has been an Instructor so long, his certification number is in Roman Numerals. References to "Austin Powers Man of Mystery" are completely fictitious. Although if you where to be "Shagged" by a spy. It would probably be "JR.".

BulletHeidi Hess - Dive Instructor

Heidi?Not happy with actually managing to leave Blue Water Divers once, Heidi comes home!!!Okay, altogether, after 3:-

Hi Heidi!! Heidi Hi!!

Then she went again? Then, to really confuse the issue, she came back! Then she went and yes you guess, she came back. Then off she goes. Only to return. Then she's off again. Knock on the door........... Yep, she's back. Quite remarkable.

BulletSue Jackson -

Sue?The picture says it all really!!! Nothing much to add without the risk of a law suit.


 

 BulletAdam Goodfellow - Dive Instructor

AdamAdam Knievel has stared at death over the handlebars of his bike hundreds of times. As the daredevil stuntman in white leather, he soared through the air and come crashing down as the world watched and winced. But this time there is nothing he can do to steer away from inevitable death. Not extra throttle, no last-minute swerve. Adam Knievel, the last of the gladiators.........................

 BulletDewi Williams - Dive Instructor

Dewi?Dewi2Welsh former pharmacist once arrested for p***ing on the parliament building in the dead of night.

Turns red at the mention of sheep!

 BulletFiona McDuie- Dive Instructor

FionaAustralian vegetarian which begs the question, exactly how well does she get on with Dewi?

**years old worked in Asia, Africa and Galapagos. Yoga and running are her thing.

Fiona suggested Kylie Minogue or Natalie Imbruglia for her photo. She really wanted Elle Mcpherson! We do know our staff very well in deed!!! Sue used to DM for Fiona which explains a lot!

BulletTerry Pryse - Operations Manager/Dive Instructor

Terry?A career butcher. Terry's butchering techniques are to be found around all our three locations, as he endeavours to fulfil his life's desire to be a carpenter. Due to the popular believe that Terry swims too fast, he used all his training to surgically remove his own left leg.

Our resident medical expert. No medical condition known to man has yet managed to miss Terry, whose health is only slightly less suspect than the West Ham United defence.

BulletValerie Mengual -Dive Instructor

Valerie?Valerie is employed to give the male staff a reason to turn up for work in the morning clean shaved, smelling sweet and looking respectable.

 

 

BulletEmma Theakston

Emma?Emma is an Essex girl, a former exempt company worker and Dewi's girlfriend. Strangely enough, we don't hold this against her.

BulletChris Wake - Dive Instructor

Chris?Chris and Polly (see below) are from somewhere called Norwich in England for which they seem completely unapologetic. They are very enthusiastic (tech diver still reads the dive mag's and thinks there great!)

Chris was running his own dive shop in the UK, (Norfolk Broads??) but was lured away by the promise of a minimum wage job and the glamour of unblocking the head regularly.

BulletPolly Wake - Dive Instructor/Watersports Technician

Polly?A Brit, and ex Planner! This was planned? Polly is working with JR at EBH and finds the beach a fine place and is disappointed that work is thrust upon her during prime sunbathing hours.

BulletPhil Hargreaves - Jet ski Guide

Phil?It's been emotional!!

 

 

 

BulletJanice Burke - The person who holds it all together and makes things work?

Janice?Clorox Spice?Although being married to Michael has probably assisted her climb up the Blue Water Divers corporate ladder. We don't hold it against her.

JR is in the process of putting the mannequin that has graced the EBH facility since its inception through immigration so that he has a full set of JR’s Angels.

BulletIan Morrell -Jetski Pilot / Watersports Staff

Ian has learnt to become tall well before he has learned to become fat. Time will catch up with him I assure you.

Once a celebrity stalker, Ian has not been ill in the presence of a celebrity since Andy Richter and the Conan O'Brien debacle. It wasn't his fault he didn't know who James Gandolfini was?

BulletBen Lucas - Owner/Manager Dive Instructor

Ben is the tallest member of staff. Problems are frequent when Ben dives the wreck of "The Hermes", as his head is usually in a completely different pressure group to his feet.

Admiral of the Fleet of the Royal Bermuda Navy. Ben is not allowed outside after dark. Ben now works as a banker, THAT'S BANKER!!!!

BulletBill Davidson - Jetski Pilot

Nothing fills Bill's parents with more pride than their son. After spending a small fortune sending him to the best schools and then a quality university education in Canada, leading to a Masters Degree in English Literature, Bill now plies his trade as a JetSki Pilot and snorkel guide.

A product of the elite fighting force that is The Bermuda Regiment, Bill can now tie both a bow line and his own shoes. Problems still occur when he tries to walk away from the boat!!! Bill can currently be found selling insurance!!!

Bullet Sam Winefordner -Dive Instructor

Sam spends his days in search of the perfect climate control, free beer and cable TV!!! Saddle up and drink your milk!!!

 

BulletChris Gauntlett - Dive Instructor

Chris hails from a long line of Bermudian sea faring hero's. Local archives can trace the Gauntlett name back through time until the first known grounding of a vessel in Bermuda waters.

Making his ancestors proud, Chris wears the title Captain Crunch, with glee and honour. Once you smell a pay packet, there is no going back!!! Chris now works in the financial market.

BulletNick The Q - Assistant Instructor

A product of the "elite" Blue Water Divers internship. Nick has access to not only the finest selection of tailored clothing, but also unlimited access to the cookies with the expired "sell by date".

A "test pilot" for all the wild and wacky dive gear. We try it out on Nick first!!!! Nick has now moved to Hawaii to try and become DAVE!!!!

BulletColin Mills - Assistant Instructor/Mechanic

The cleanest and softest hands of all our staff, Colin is an ardent vegetarian. A lover of leather clothing and a keen motorcycle enthusiast. He is able to identify any major highway, world-wide, purely by the taste of the surface.

The bright light and glamour of the watersports industry proved too great for Colin who now repairs rental scooters in exchange for food and clothing.

BulletMarcel Hesse - Dive Instructor

A product of the "elite" Blue Water Divers internship. Bilingual, THAT'S BILINGUAL!!! Marcel speaks German and another language unknown to man.

A Chef by trade, Marcel paid for his education by providing us with cake!! He is totally responsible for Dave's overall massiveness.

BulletMax Isles - Dive Instructor

Max was driven to Blue Water Divers by his desire to work for absolutely nothing!!!

Formerly a small group of Islands off the North East coast of Scotland, Max Isles brings a sick sense of humour and vegetarian cuisine to Blue Water Divers.

Max has a hidden attraction, mortals can not see what drove Jane, (SEE BELOW) To marry him. MAD!!! Not this Max, but don't cross him? He has a black belt in yoga and was last seen heading towards the politically vague regions of Southern California with wife in tow.

BulletJane Dempsey - Divemaster

In an attempt to be an equal opportunities employer, Blue Water Divers have made Jane solely responsible for ALL the work.

A Civil Engineer by trade, Jane can identify nearly all the those things in a tool box, and do it in such a pleasant manner.

BulletMatt Abramovich - Dive Instructor

Matt really messed up our "entire staff with really short last name policy". We feel sure he added a few extra letters just to prove a point.

Canada oh Canada, what can we say about Canada!!! It's cold? Matt is not happy being paid in line with our 1 Canadian Dollar = I US Dollar policy. Matt is currently in the Cayman Islands showing them how to do it.

Bullet Julia Cook - Dive Instructor

You will never really appreciate how keen Julia was to find herself listed on our web page. She has appeared on other web pages, but this is the only one she tells her mother about.

Julia's sole purpose is come up with brilliant ideas. Then complete arduous tasks that I then credit to "JR". It entertains me to see her so perplexed.
