A fascination with sharks would propel Marc Anderes into the underwater world. His first breaths in the aquatic environment came at the age of thirteen. A few years later while on vacation with his family in Thailand, he would earn his first certification. Diving was an enjoyable hobby for him for years before a last-minute trip with his sister ignited his passion for the sport. Soon after, he would find himself diving every weekend and eventually find himself moving full-time into the industry. Please enjoy.

When Maria Shagina decided to pursue this new hobby of enjoying moments beneath the surface of the water, she traveled down a nontraditional route and approached the sport with a more technical-driven mindset and practice. Making her way to Mexico would introduce her to the beautiful caves of the Yucatan, Instantly, she knew this was where she needed to be. Finding a welcoming community, she settled in and made a new home, until an injury in a dry caving expedition would change her life and alter her course. Eventually, she would overcome this and find her way back to this place she calls home. Please enjoy.

While training in Mexico, I kept running into Steve Crosby at many dive sites. After a few conversations, I invited him to the podcast. Within a couple of minutes, we would realize just how small the scuba industry is. After becoming certified at an early age, he knew diving would be more than just a fun activity. After moving into a professional role, he would travel throughout Southeast Asia before COVID brought him back to the U.S. Eventually finding his way to Mexico, he would choose ProTec Dive Center to further his career and personal diving. Please enjoy.
