Located at the Hawks Cay Resort, Duck Key, Florida Keys
Joe and Wendy Hall are the owners of Dive Duck Key.
First, meet Joe Hall. Joe grew up in Texas on a working cattle ranch where a passion  for all outdoor activities was developed. He has been a Captain since 2002 and a scuba instructor since 1998 with teaching experience in all recreational areas of skin and scuba diving. His experience also includes training students with the use of nitrox, rebreathers, decompression procedures, and the development of instructors. Joe has a great deal of appreciation for the underwater world and gains personal satisfaction in sharing it with others.
 Here's Wendy Hall. Wendy is a Navy brat who has always lived near the ocean. She was a dental assistant for 11 years and spent all her cash going to tropical places to scuba dive. On her last vacation she threw in the towel, quit work and moved to the Keys to go to dive school. Wendy is an active NAUI and PADI instructor. Wendy is a full time mother of one beautiful baby boy and hopes to raise a "diving family"!
Next, meet Bob McCormick. Bob left the cooler temperatures of Massachusetts  to enjoy island living in the Keys with his wife, Sandy. Most of his diving was in the temperate waters off the New England coast. He is a PADI instructor who enjoys showing his students the wonders Mother Nature has to offer here in the Keys. Bob also takes advantage of the Florida Keys great climate and bikes every where. In fact, he loves to bike to Dive Duck Key Shop.
Now meet Jessica Pritt! Jessica was born and raised in Northern Virginia,  where she received her dive certification as part of her training for the Rescue Squad. In college she joined the Va Tech Scuba Club (Go Hokies!) which made frequent trips down to the Florida Keys. After graduation she decided to make the Keys her home. She started out working at a hotel, but has since traded in her heels for flip-flops. Addicted to diving and lobstering, she acclimated to the Keys lifestyle and weather quickly. She has been an active PADI instructor since early 2006. Jessica is easy to pick out among our crew, she's the one wearing a fleece when it is 80 degrees out!
It's Jason Elliott's turn. Jason was born and raised in California and has lived from San Diego to the border of Oregon.  He was the production supervisor of an injection molding company for most of his 20's. Jason left the construction business to work behind the bar at his father's pool hall for a few years but then decided to start a new life. After becoming a dive instructor, Jason made the big move to the Florida Keys and now works and plays in this wonderful place, we call the Florida Keys. Jason is happy to work as a dive instructor at the best dive shop around, Dive Duck Key!
Bert Munson is another instructor escaping the cold waters  of California. Bert came to the Florida Keys from the San Bernadino Mountains. He does miss the smell of the pine trees and the skiing but, not the cold. Bert is a graduate of Hall's Dive Center and has been teaching with Dive Duck Key as a NAUI instructor since his graduation in 2007.
