George GUY
Board Member at Large |
George was born and raised in the Midwest. At age 17 enlisted in the Marines with 200 men from Indiana for special training in the tank corps. After completion of basic training at Camp Pendleton in California, the Hoosiers were deployed to South Korea and spent 18 months on the 38th Parallel.
After serving 9 years in the Marines, he located in Encinitas, a beach city in the North County area of San Diego County, California and went to college with the G.I. bill. While there he skated and competed in national events, became a beach bum with Mickey Mouse Club actors, helped make Rose Bowl floats, and began snorkeling and surfing. At this point he came to love the water and spent as much time as he could on Long Beach. He returned to the Midwest because of family medical needs. He starting teaching Scuba lessons at the University of Evansville and eventually opened a Dive Shop. In order for students to accomplish their open water certification, he traveled to Venice, Florida. The first dive upon arriving in Venice was in Little Salt Spring. One of the students had family in the area and knew of the Spring. The excitement of ocean and spring diving convinced him that this would be a lifelong endeavor. Residence in Venice opened opportunities for commercial diving employment. He was hired for underwater work on Z-pilings for the supports for the new Skyway Bridge, artificial reefs on the East Coast including sinking three vessels with explosives. Currently his activities include preservation and education for the future. |
