Capt. Koos writes: I'm 34 years old, and married. I don't have any children. I am a PADI (Professional Association of Dive Instructors) Master Scuba Diver Trainer. I hold a USCG 100 Ton captains license. I have an Associates Degree in Business Management. For the last four years I managed a dive shop, tought dive classes, and captained their boat. It was a real "cattle boat" operation. This past summer I was given the chance to start my own dive shop, and I wanted it to be different. I only offer private tours. I think it is better that way for the customers and for the wildlife. Capt. Koos conducts EarthFoot's "Manatee, River & Scuba Tours on Florida's Central Gulf Coast" program
