MEET THE BEACH DIVER!

Tom Carpenter is The Beach Divers. Tom began his diving career in Hillsboro Beach, FL in 1965. Since then, he has explored the world underwater across the globe but he still considers southeast Florida his favorite place to dive in the world. He continues his adventures locally as an instructor, guide, conservationist, photographer, and writer.

Active in the South Florida scuba community, Tom has been raising awareness of beach diving, elevating the sport to levels not seen since recreational scuba diving first began in Broward County in the 1950’s and 1960’s. He leads the largest organization of scuba divers devoted to shore diving with over 5,000 members and followers.
