About Kenny Dyal & Sweetwater Scuba

My name is Kenny Dyal & my mission is to grow the dive industry. I started, ran, & sold a dive shop from scratch, published multiple Children's Books on scuba diving, train other scuba instructors (Course Director), worked with Guests over 17 years with Disney's Dive Quest, & even perform as a safety diver for Mickey Mouse (still do on occasion). But now I host "The Scuba Diving Podcast", & create educational & promotional content (Like the Down 60 video series) for anything related to the underwater world. With tens of millions of views (& counting) the more we can lift up this underwater world, the better our world will be for it. I'll also admit, it's just FUN!

I love being creative (like designing the Swag, and all of the art / photography you'll find here). I love diving, I love teaching, and I love getting to know industry leaders and interesting people. Above all, I love connecting people and watching them grow.
