Tim brings over 18 years of diving experience to our instructional team, sharing a deep passion for the ocean and a calm, confident teaching style that students appreciate. Before joining us, Tim spent 30 years as the owner of a wine shop in New Orleans, where he built a reputation for exceptional hospitality, attention to detail, and community connection.

In June 2025, Tim relocated to St. Petersburg, embracing Florida’s coastal lifestyle and diving opportunities. Beyond scuba, he has an extensive background as a skydiving videographer and coach, a role he has held for more than 20 years, and he hopes to return to the sport in the future.

When he’s not teaching or diving, Tim can often be found restoring his 98-year-old home in Old Northeast, a project that blends craftsmanship with creativity. He also enjoys sailing, fishing, and traveling, taking every chance to explore new waters and new adventures.

Tim’s diverse experiences—underwater, in the sky, and in business—bring a unique perspective and dedication to the Lett’s Dive team, making him a valued instructor and mentor for divers of all levels.
