History

Established in 1982.

San Diego Shark Diving was originally started by well know underwater cameramen Bob Cranston and Marty Snyderman. In 1993 Doc Anes took over and expanded the types of shark diving trips from not only Blue Sharks off San Diego to diving with Great White Sharks off Guadalupe Island in Baja, to Tiger Sharks in the Bahamas.

Meet the Business Owner

Doc A.

Business Owner

As a 21^st birthday present to himself he took scuba lessons in 1969. After transferring to San Diego State U. in 1970 he signed up for the first advanced scuba certification offered as an extension class at SDSU. He progressed as an assistant instructor and eventually earned his NAUI instructor rating in 1974 as Instructor # 3734.

After graduation from SDSU he went back to an old skill of building custom boats, until 1982 when he was offered the diving operations manager position at the old Tortuga Club located at the East End of Grand Cayman Is. He transferred to the Spanish Cove Resort at the NW end of the island in 1984 where he focused on just being a divemaster and boat captain.

After returning to San Diego he bought the business in 1993 To hear it from Doc-«This is the one job that really fits my personality, unfortunately now I’ve gotten myself into a situation where I am no longer employable at a „real“ job so I’d better be good at the ‘sharkin’.»
