SEAL Captain Jim

I’ve been in San Diego since 2004, and it’s home! I’ve traveled the world and enjoyed many places. These experiences are my favorite. I am studying to be a teacher and sharing ideas with others.

SEAL Guide Scotty

As a Native San Diegan, I grew up here with great memories of close family, life, and great friendships! I’m married to my best friend, Kristine, and we have two adult sons. We enjoy the beach, boating, golf, and dog park visits with our three “pups.” For over 25 years, I worked in radio and TV. Now, I’m outside having fun in the sun with you!

SEAL Guide Jack

I moved to Southern California from Washington, D.C., and I am relishing the sun and hospitality of the region. I’ve worked in customer service most of my life and I enjoy meeting people from all over the globe. I’m thrilled to be part of the SEAL team and look forward to spending time on the water!! Finally, Go HEELS!!

Head SEAL Justine

I’ve had the pleasure of being a Captain in Hawaii for over a decade. I’ve conducted snorkeling, fishing and whale watching tours there and absolutely fell in love with humpback whales! What a majestic experience it was. I’ve also driven off-shore racing speed boats out of Miami. It’s quite a thrill jumping yacht waves at 50 mph! I am back with my Ohana here in San Diego and proud to be the Head SEAL captain. Fun Facts: I am a Whale Whisperer and a Pokémon Master. I always have an aquarium and I love Beau Jo’s Pizza.

SEAL Guide Bret

I am a fun-loving person who originates from O’ahu, Hawaii. The great thing about San Diego is living ten minutes away from the beach, and an hour away from the back-country and deserts. I enjoy camping, backpacking, and freshwater fishing. I also enjoy dressing in cosplay outfits such as the 1800’s Wyatt Earp (prospector/gunfighter), Han Solo, and Indiana Jones.

SEAL Captain Tony

I was born and raised in San Diego; graduated from University City High School, and from Humboldt State University. Following that, I spent the next 24 years in the British Virgin Islands where I owned and operated a SCUBA diving company (UBS Dive Center), a kayak eco-tour business (Tortola Kayak Snorkel and Eco Tours), and co-founded the non-profit organization (Reef Guardians). I also spent 14 years as a Medic training & teaching Virgin Islands Search and Rescue in first aid at sea, CPR, AED, and oxygen administration. The best thing about SD is the climate where I can go snowboarding, SCUBA Diving, Mountain Biking, Desert Motocross, and Mexico. I also enjoy playing guitar, golf, and long road trips.

SEAL Guide Jon

I was born and raised across the bay from San Diego in the beautiful village of Coronado. I had the great opportunity to work for over 12 years on the PGA Tours and European Tours as a Manufacturers Rep, building clubs for the great players in the game. My love is to travel and learn history. I have been a tour guide, lecturer, and host for cruise lines visiting over 260 cities in 40 countries. My favorite part of travel is learning and enjoying the culture and history of so many places. I also have the privilege of being a volunteer with the Coronado Visitor’s Center serving as a guide on the walking tours of the historical Hotel del Coronado. I am married to the best gal in the world and we enjoy gourmet cooking, and our many beaches with our awesome dogs. Welcome aboard!

SEAL Captain Hal

CAST member since 2015

I hail from Texas and I am a lifelong sailor. I passed through San Diego in 2011 on my way to Mexico on Luna Sea, my 37-foot sailboat. San Diego appealed to me and after four years of cruising Latin American waters, my wife, Nina, and I returned to San Diego. Before cruising in Mexico and other points South, I lived and worked in Santa Cruz and the Bay area (Alameda) for many years. I have two brothers who reside in Texas, and four adult children scattered across the U.S. I enjoy traveling, reading, and sailing. Currently, I hold a 50 ton MMC with the Coast Guard and I am collecting sea time towards my 100 ton MMC.
