Diver Name

Galvin Thomas Templar

nstructor Trainer

Location: Atlantis
Hometown: Temple City, CA

Born at the tender age of zero, he began his first migration towards the great Pacific Ocean. Forged by the rough shell sand and pounding temperate waves, he formed a deep connection with the sea and all of her creatures. Now he uses his powers to teach others how to form a deep and lasting relationship with our mother, Ocean.

In his terrestrial life, he is most commonly spotted at the Ocean Safari headquarters answering calls, repairing equipment, orchestrating excursions, and signing autographs.

After hours he must travel to the nearest body of water to avoid desiccation, often spending his weekday evenings teaching scuba, free diving, and rescue diving at the Norman S. Johnson Aquatic Center in Arcadia.

When he is not “working” photography, music, surfing, and hiking are his go-to activities.

Though his powers are great and many, there are still countless migrations ahead.

Santa Cruz Sea Lions

August 12, 2021

 

On August 8th we had the privilege to dive around Coches pt of Santa Cruz Island. Water visibility was roughly 25-30' and surface temperature was near the mid 60's. The water was glassy and the channel crossing was super smooth. We decided to dive around the Coches point area where we enjoyed diving through lush boa kelp and playing with the local raft of juvenile sea lions.
