Meet Sam’s Crew

Here are the principal members of my team that have helped make Skin n Scuba the number 1 dive operation in the K.C. area. Of course, there are a lot of friends and family that contribute enormously, but aren’t listed here, these are the paid deck hands, that will be taking care of you, around the store, in the pool, and on trips.
