My name is Quincy and I am a PADI Divemaster. I got PADI Open Water Certified after I transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Stout. I always wanted to learn how to dive since I was young after watching movies such as "Jaws" and "Flipper", but I did not have the opportunity until I went off to college. Before leaving for UW Stout, I made a Pact with myself to get my Open Water Certification while in college. Once I got my certification,  I knew that I wanted to continue with my diving education and learn more. In the summer of 2022, I got a job working for Waterfront Restoration as a Divetech and enrolled in Midwest School of Diving's Internship program (I highly recommend it btw). During that summer, I was SCUBA Diving every day and my passion for it grew even more. It felt right, it pushed me to grow even more as a diver and as a human being.  I love getting people involved with the Diving community and seeing how it benefits them in multiple ways. During my time at UW Stout, I have brought a few students to do Try SCUBA sessions with Midwest and they all loved it. One even finished his certification and went diving in the Great Berrier Reef. It felt awesome to know that I made a difference in someone's life. Midwest's staff are my second family and I am always thankful to have them in my life. Currently, I am finishing my Computer Science degree at UW Stout. Right now I am contracted with DiveOne LLC creating Underwater Content for Marine Biology Education and operating my own Company called SCUBA Q Multimedia which specializes in areas such as Virtual Production, Motion Capture, and SCUBA related content creation.  During my free time, I enjoy SCUBA Diving with my friends, Reading, Watching Movies, Playing Video Games, Underwater Videography, Content Creation, and Being Outdoors.
