Bill Colderbank

In 1964 Bill’s father met an ex-navy diver that was teaching SCUBA at the local YMCA. Dad signed Bill up for the class and he’s been diving ever since. Bill received his Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) certification in 2004. When he’s is not teaching scuba diving Bill manages the logistics for an international marketing company.

Bill has had the opportunity to dive in exotic locations for over 40 years. He experienced a perfect “Kodak” moment on New Years Eve 2001 while he was on the surface waters off the coast of Bonaire with his dive group. There was a full moon overhead, and as he was waiting to descend he and his dive group watched the sky light up with the island’s firework display.

Bill’s favorite class as a student was Enriched Air Nitrox because it gave him more bottom time. As a MSDT, he now teaches the Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Enriched Air Nitrox, Rescue, Emergency First Response, Scuba Refresher, Discover Scuba and Peak Performance Buoyancy classes here at Alpine Scuba.

Other than Bonaire, Bill’s favorite dive locations are the Galapagos Islands to see a display of large sea life and St. Croix, USVI to observe smaller marine life and healthy reefs.
