I spend the majority of my time taking your reservations, and helping plan a perfect dive trip but you can also find me on the dive boats teaching and guiding a few times a week. When I’m not at the shop, I’m hangin’ with my 4 rescue dogs on the beach or cooking up a storm. ![](https://scubalifecozumel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/JP-1-150x150.jpeg)[**](mailto:info@scubalifecozumel.com)[**](https://www.facebook.com/JP.Cozumel) #### JP Owner / PADI InstructorSince a youngster the ocean has fascinated me and through Costeau’s documentaries I got as close as I could.
