From Rugged Shores to Coral Floors
About Me
Hi there — I’m Shannon Powell, your soon-to-be favorite fishing and scuba buddy. I’ve spent more hours on (and under) the water than most people spend in front of their TVs, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
My love for the water started young — the kind of kid who thought “pool day” was nice but “ocean day” was magic. Over the years, I’ve chased trophy fish, explored hidden reefs, and learned every trick for spotting the kind of wildlife most folks only see in documentaries.
These days, I’m lucky enough to turn my passion into my profession. As a licensed captain and scuba instructor, I help clients experience the thrill, peace, and pure joy that comes from being out on the open water. Whether you’re casting a line for your first big catch or descending into a world of coral and color, my goal is to make sure you feel safe, confident, and downright excited every step of the way.
When I’m not guiding, you can usually find me tinkering with my gear, testing new lures, or mapping out my next underwater adventure. I believe the best days end with salty hair, a big grin, and a story worth telling.
So if you’re ready to trade the everyday grind for a little splash of adventure, grab your gear — I’ll bring the know-how and the bad jokes.
From Pacific swells to tropical shells — your adventure starts here.
