Steve Thomas has been diving since 2011 when he took his first NAUI basic scuba diver class at Western Michigan University which was taught by Rick Sass and Rob Knolle. He attended the Wednesday night dives to gain more experience diving the local inland lakes and meet others with the same passion for the sport. This included a dive in Gull Lake on January 1, 2013. The water that day was 36 degree

Be blessed!
