Jeremy Shultz was certified as a Dive Master through Underwater World in February 2010. He started scuba diving in 2001 while he was a United States Marine in Guam. He has dove all over the world and thought he would have to give scuba diving up when moving back to Nebraska. After moving to Omaha in 2007 he found Underwater World and hasn't been able to stay out of the shop ever since. After seeing Jeremy at least a few times every week Don convinced him he might as well start working. Jeremy now works as Underwater World's service tech, teaches Intro to Scuba Classes & Refreshers, and helps out at the Quarry. He enjoys diving anywhere he can get in the water but has recently been diving in Puerto Vallarta & Cozumel, Mexico. Jeremy's ultimate goal is to become an Instructor.
