SEAL Captain Diego

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. 

Head SEAL Justine

I’ve had the pleasure of being a captain in Hawaii for over a decade. I’ve conducted snorkel, 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.

SEAL Guide Bret

I am a fun-loving person who originates from O’ahu, Hawaii. The great thing about San Diego is living 10 minutes away from the beach, and an hour away from the back-country & deserts. I enjoy camping, backpacking, and freshwater fishing. 

SEAL Captain Tony

I was born and raised in San Diego. I graduated from University City High School in 1986, and from Humboldt State University in 1991. 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 the Medic training teaching Virgin Islands Search and Rescue in First Aid at sea, CPR, AED and oxygen administration. The best thing about San Diego is the climate where I can go snowboarding, SCUBA diving, mountain biking, desert motocross, and to Mexico. 

SEAL Guide Jon

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, wine tasting and our many beaches with our awesome dogs. Welcome aboard!

SEAL Captain Hal

CAST member since 2015

I hail from Texas and am a lifelong sailor. I passed through San Diego in 2011 on my way South to Mexico on Luna Sea, my 37-foot sailboat. San Diego appealed to me and after 4 years of cruising Latin American waters, my wife and I returned to San Diego for a change. Before crusing in Mexico and points south, I lived and worked in Santa Cruz and the Bay Area (Alameda) for many years. I have two siblings, brothers, who reside in Texas, four adult children scattered around the U.S. and a wife, Nina. I enjoy traveling, reading and sailing. Currently, I hold a 50 ton MMC with the Coast Guard and am collecting sea time towards my 100 ton MMC.
