Jonathan has been co-owner and manager of Waterfront Diving Center since July of 1990. Originally certified by PADI in 1970, Jonathan has over 40 years of diving experience and has traveled to a variety of diving destinations. Although his first career was in the banking industry, Jonathan actively pursued his passion for diving. From working as a skin diving guide for Club Med on the Costa Brava in Spain while he was in college, to volunteering as a diver on several nautical archaeology projects conducted by the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, Jonathan found interesting ways to stay wet. Diving has taken Jonathan all over the world. His diving destinations include: The Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos, Bonaire, Saba, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Roatan, Truk Lagoon, Palau, Fiji, the Maldive Islands, South Africa, the Red Sea in Egypt, Dominican Republic, Solomon Islands and Coastal New England. Jonathans’ favorite local dive is the OJ Walker because everything is still there – the anchor at the bow, wheel at the stern, the masts, the dead-eyes, and cargo still on the deck. He likes to say that the only thing missing are the sails! Another one of his favorite dives is not a wreck. Ferris Rock, located Northeast of Schuyler Island on Lake Champlain has great geology with large crevices, overhangs, drop-offs, and even a small archway. His favorite dive destination outside of Vermont would be the Solomon Islands. The Solomon Islands are remote, pristine, and amazing diving, offering unparalleled diving. In his time off Jonathan enjoys spending time with his family at his camp on Lake Champlain in Willsboro, N.Y., and flying his amphibious ultra-light around the Champlain Valley. During the winter he really enjoys skiing.
