Who is Fun 2 Dive anyway?
Fun 2 Dive is a family owned and operated outdoor adventure company that provides Scuba Diving and Snorkeling. Fun 2 Dive was started in 1990 which is owned by Joe and Judy Detrick both US Coast Guard Captains. Joe and Judy have been married for 25 years with 2 children and several grandchildren.
Our business is simple, we're not out to make a million bucks. Our company was based on our interests and how we can get the most out of our life. We are outgoing people, fair and honest. We run our own tours and have 3 charter boats throughout Florida. We have a few close friends that help us with training and charters.
Captain
Joseph Detrick, AKA Capt. Joe, Manatee Joe, or Scuba Joe began diving in 1975 and hasn't
stopped! With 30 plus years of diving experience, Capt. Joe is far and above the
"Local Expert" in this area. His formal training includes NAUI Instructor
Trainer, SDI Instructor, TDI Instructor, IANTD Instructor and holds Certifications from
PADI, YMCA, NACD and NSS/CDS. Capt. Joe is a Rebreather Instructor for the Azimuth,
Dragger, and the Military’s C-96. He also has taught the Bio-Med 60 and the Bio-Med
80 units. Capt. Joe can provide you with the best possible training in all of these areas
as well as many other courses that he teaches. The NACD has appointed Captain Joe as their
Regional Safety Officer for Central Florida.
You would be hard pressed to find a diver with more experience. Spanning the globe Capt. Joe has logged an incredible 12,800 dives ranging from The Grand Canaries Islands off the coast of Africa, to the warmth of the Bahamas and everything in between.
Even more impressive is his time spent with the endangered West Indian Manatee (close to 9,000 hours of water time)! You can't spend that much time with an animal and not start to think like them! This is where Capt. Joe enjoys life.
With a US Coast Guard Captains License, a background in Marine Science and a degree in Photography, it is no wonder his photos are legendary. If you are in the market for an ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC course, take an Underwater photography or Videography course, you will NOT be disappointed! Capt. Joe has one of the largest collection of Manatee Photos in the world.
Remember: If you strive for Perfection, you will obtain Excellence!
