Adam Terranova
Adam started diving in the Marines while stationed at Coronado, CA in 1994 and was instantly hooked. Adam met Andre the first weekend after he got home while on his way to get Civilian clothes at the Granite Run Mall. Noticing that Andre had a painting of a dive flag on the side of the original dive shop, he stopped in. The two have been good friends ever since. Adam recently started a family, so his future dive trips are limited to the spearfishing trip in Tortugas and the occasional Jersey Dive. You will see him in the pool or up at Dutch Springs for training classes to keep his skills top notch.
