Meet Todd Lakes-The Dive Nomad

Todd is a business graduate, turned dive guide, who has an intense passion for dive travel, photography, and the environment. His journey started back in 1999 on a one week trip to Hawaii that led to getting his Dive Master Certification in Roatan, Honduras. His inspiring experiences in Honduras and Central America were followed by a one month trip (that was the plan) to Asia to complete his Dive Instructor certification, which actually turned into an amazing 15 year journey of exploring the best diving throughout the Asia-Pacific Region.

Currently based in the Americas, Todd is more often than not, away searching out new dive destinations and unique travel experiences to share with just about anyone who will listen.
