About

Underwater Adventures was started in 1972 and remains Lake County's oldest dive shop. Jim Calvin has been at the helm for almost 4 decades, ensuring great customer service and awesome prices on the industry's top product lines.Jim Calvin's diving career began just after high school when he joined the U.S. Navy. Jim was positioned as a Torpedo Man 3rd Class, Photographer and Navy Diver on the Fast Attack Sub, the USS Spadefish. After completing his tour "diving" all over the world (we tease him that diving in a Fast Attack Submarine doesn't count as diving), Jim came back to Lake County, Florida where he worked as a Diving Instructor and Commercial Fisherman. Jim has enjoyed cave diving since the early 90's where he has seen spectacular dives like Diepolders and Eagle's Nest. Today, Jim's passion is teaching new people the wonders of SCUBA. You can often find him teaching in Alexander Springs or behind the viewfinder of his camera taking spectacular pictures in breath-taking Cayman Brac.
