Francisco aka “Pancho” serves double duty for us as both an Instructor and Divemaster, often times wearing both hats in the same day. Over 30 years of diving Cozumel daily has allowed him to accumulate over 20,000 dives in the Cozumel Marine Park.

You will find Isidro on our boats most days still hammering out 500+ dives yearly even after 30 years in the industry. A day with Isi and you’ll see why he is our most requested Divemaster.

Dive Professional Since 2017

Guillermo, or “G” as we call him, spends most his days in our office where he co-manages our reservations and dive team schedule along with Shamik. For lucky students we let G out of the office to teach as often as we can, and he also likes to assist on our equipment repair.

Shamik Banerjee

Shamik, or “Mik” as we like to call him, mostly manages our reservations and scheduling. Most often he will be your first point of contact with Salty Endeavors, and his years at the helm will guide you through the reservation process smoothly. We do try to keep his gills wet, too, feeding him scuba students on the regular.

Jose aka “Coche” is our lead instructor for the team. Students often refer to him as havig been “born to teach scuba”. On off days when we have no studnets for him, we also let him Divemaster, of course. Jose is also very handy with a camera and many of our social media images come from his lens.

Eduardo Gonzalez

You will find Eduardo on our boats most days as he averages about 800 dives for us per calendar year as one of our main Divemasters.
