Dave Potter started diving at age 12 and was certified at age 14 in 1978 by Art Cohn at Northern Divers (the predecessor of Waterfront Diving Center).  Most of Dave's diving experience was in our own Lake Champlain until 2006 when he met his future wife, Lisetta Hansen.  Since 2006, Dave and Lisetta have been to the Maldives, Philippines, Costa Rica, Roatán, Bonaire, Cayman Islands, Socorro Islands, Florida (freshwater caves and ocean diving), Lake Ontario, St. Lawrence River, and they both still enjoy diving Lake Champlain any chance they can.  Lisetta also introduced Dave to the Global Underwater Explorers (GUE) dive training organization.  In addition to being an active NAUI Instructor, Dave also holds the following GUE certifications:

• - Technical Diver 1
• - Gas Blender
