Ray Iavasile
SDI Divemaster and Dive Experience Leader
Do you like hershey kisses? Ray does not. Ray has blue camo fins so you can find him better. Meow. A girl he was dating forced him to learn how to dive (he did it all for the nookie). He is still in love with the girl and is still diving. Meow. He is a professional photographer and was twice voted by his high school senior class "Most Likely to Succeed"; he did need to repeat the 12th grade but that's how he was able to win the award twice! Making omelets.

Favorite Piece of Equipment: My Nauticam housing for my camera. Photography is my passion. Having a professional housing not only allows me to photograph underwater, but to have full control of my camera's settings and capture the best photos I possibly can. Not a pro just yet? The Sealife SportDiver is a great intro!
Favorite Dive Spot: Socorro Islands to photograph Manta Rays and Hammerhead sharks. Dauin, Philippines for photographing nudibranch and macro life.
Favorite Class: Rescue Diver. It made me realize how careless of a diver I was and how unprepared I was to help another diver if in trouble. The class has preparesd me and given me skills to be ready to help others in need in case of emergency.
