The founder of Dreaming Sea Divers (DSD), John, knew he was ready to branch out and start his own company, and start training people the way he has seen his students learn the best. That is, at their pace, in an unintimidating environment, in a private SCUBA class with their instructor, who is there every step of the way. This personal and private approach separates him from the rest by eliminating the large groups at a devastating discount with fine print. The positive approach John employs sets him apart from some militant type instructors with scare tactics. John has more tools in his toolbox.
Well, you can’t have a business without a name and Dreaming Sea Divers is personal to John! He’s has had a strong affinity for Dave Matthews Band since high school, referring to them as his “desert island band”. Of their vast catalog of songs, John chose a song that he could relate to the ocean, “The Dreaming Tree.” This song is about an old man reminiscing of a tree he used to sit under and think. He used to climb it with a girl that he shared his first kiss with. Sadly, the tree dies because of the progress of the world. Coral bleaching and plastic ending up in the ocean is perhaps a topic for a different blog but the similarities between a tree dying and the ocean needing advocates were obvious to John.
As we said before, Dave Matthew Band has a huge catalog of original songs and performs dozens of covers live. They’ve never played the same show twice, each song is different from night-to-night.
Diving is just like this! No two dives are the same. You never know what you'll see, who you may end up diving with, or where your diving endeavors may take you! John has a huge place in his heart for music, diving, and education. He loves learning new music as much as he loves learning and spreading his knowledge and skills of diving.
