Meet Mike Mazza — Master Scuba Instructor, World Traveler & Zombie Survival Expert 

If there's an incredible place to dive somewhere on the planet, there's a pretty good chance Mike Mazza has either been there—or it's on his list!

With more than 20 years of diving experience, Mike has explored some of the world's most spectacular underwater destinations, including the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, Coiba National Park in Panama, Bonaire, Cozumel, and plenty of other incredible dive sites around the world.

Mike has been part of the Atlantic Edge family for 14 years, all of them as a dive professional, and for the past nine years he has served as a Master Scuba Instructor. But for Mike, collecting certifications and passport stamps isn't the best part of diving—teaching is.

One of Mike's favorite things is watching a new diver go from a little nervous on the surface to completely amazed underwater. Whether he's working with a young diver taking their first breaths on scuba or helping an experienced diver sharpen their skills, Mike brings patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for the sport.

As Mike puts it:

“It gives me great joy teaching students, young and old, so they can experience the amazing rush of adrenaline when they witness the beauty of nature beneath the surface. I love sharing that experience with everyone.”
