SEAL Guide Bret

I was a broadcasting on-air personality for 27 years. I have worked at Monterey Bay Aquarium as a naturalist. As a story teller, I strive to deliver content that is fun and informative. I feel I achieve this by reflecting on
my experiences of being an Eagle Scout and always doing my best. My favorite pastime is going to Disneyland, repeatedly taking the Jungle Cruise and Indiana Jones ride while wearing my prized authentic fedora and leather jacket. So you know from that who my favorite hero is.

SEAL Captain Fozii

Ahoy my name is Fozii. I have been very privileged to have held a captain license for over 10 years now. My career in the tourism industry started back in 2002 when I got a job with a helicopter tour company in Hawaii. Seattle was the beginning of my career as a captain but the weather scared me away so here I am now in sunny San Diego. I Feel very lucky to be a part of the SEAL Tour team.

SEAL Captain Hal

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.
