Alan Williams

Position: Foundational Instructor
Email: rheas@rheasdiving.com

All of my life I have been fascinated with the underwater world and dreamed of exploring its wonders. That dream became reality when I took my first SCUBA class the summer after graduating high school! Learning to dive was the start of an adventure that has taken me around the globe, shown me amazing sights that few people ever get to experience, met some of my best friends, develop a career and business spanning over 20 years. Although I am tasked with the mundane responsibilities common to any business, I cannot imagine doing anything else!

I have always enjoyed participating in and teaching all types of diving. My favorite activities include underwater videography and “technical” diving (cave, shipwreck, mixed-gas, etc.) There are no words to explain the satisfaction I receive from diving whether it is capturing a colorful reef creature on film or exploring the interior of a long forgotten shipwreck with my friends and customers!
