Diver and Instructor

SSI, HSA and PADI Open Water Instructor

Ray Marciano started diving at the age of 15, learning to dive on the wrecks off of Long Island, NY. His diving was interrupted when he entered the US Army at the age of 18, where he dove intermittently during his 21 year career as a Military Police Soldier. Ray found that many military personnel were struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and began researching ways to help them. He found information pointing to SCUBA Diving as a viable therapy for PTSD and decided the best way he could help them was to become a SCUBA Instructor. Ray is an Open Water SCUBA Instructor who holds several specialty instructor ratings and is a Handicapped SCUBA Association (HSA) Instructor.
