Meet the staff of Maine Divers Scuba Center

George Rothweiler, PADI MSDT 232393

I started scuba diving in 2004.  After a career in the US Navy in Maritime Patrol Aviation with Lockheed P-3 Orion squadrons and thousands of hours flying over the oceans, I wanted to continue my life's adventures by exploring under the sea.  In the process I have advanced to instructor and technical diver,  and enjoy the feeling of discovery I get with each dive.  I am a traveller in this life.  My portfolio of diving includes:  Maine, Florida, Hawaii, British Virgin Islands, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Grand Cayman, Roatan, the Bahamas, Austraila, Mexico, Thailand, Fiji and Ireland. There are so many more places to see!  I like wrecks and reefs, and the thrill knowing that just around the next rock may be treasure, even if it is only an old bottle.

For me, Maine Divers Scuba Center is an opportunity to endulge my passion for diving and help other divers do the same.  Diving is a social activity with a self selected group of people that have achieved something special. It is also a skill where you can continuously learn and improve your abilities.  My hope is that you will join us on your own life's adventure to learn, explore and discover what awaites just over (or under) the next horizon.
