Meet Sean Young — originally from California, later spending 12 years in Tampa, Florida. Sean is a graphic designer and drone videographer creating content for Adobe Stock.
His diving journey started during a conversation with a co-worker from Michigan who was an avid diver. After hearing Sean talk about surfing and his love for the Pacific, he told him he needed to try scuba.
A few years later, during COVID, Sean and his family leaned into the outdoors — camping, kayaking and paddleboarding — but he still wanted something more.
Then he tried diving.
“It was one of the best life decisions I ever made. The rest was history.”
🐢 UNFORGETTABLE DIVE
Gili Trawangan, Indonesia — between Lombok and Bali.
Warm 31°C water, incredible visibility, sharks, turtles, octopus, cuttlefish and marine life everywhere.
And the turtles?
“They’re like bumper cars — they’re everywhere.” 😂
⚙️ SEAN’S DIVE KIT
• Mares Bolt BCD
• Aqua Lung Titan regulators + first stage
• Cressi Giotto dive computer
• Apeks RK3 fins
• Aqua Lung neoprene boots
• Rash guard + neoprene jacket
• 3mm and 5mm wetsuits when needed
Most of his diving is warm-water diving, so Hawaiian board shorts often replace the wetsuit.
His RK3 fins are one of his favourite investments, especially for dealing with stronger currents or downwellings.
🇨🇦 CANADA NEXT?
Sean admits cold-water diving isn’t usually his thing, but he wants to try drysuit diving and experience Canada underwater.
Two spots already on his list:
🌊 Porteau Cove, British Columbia
🌊 God’s Pocket, British Columbia
He’d also love to get a group together for a Canadian dive trip.
