Our Team

We have grown into a leading marine service provider with a deep bench of experience and leadership among our crew and a very organized back office allowing us to scale and serve our clients in a professional and thorough manner. Underwater boat work is hard work and requires oversight during the learning curve. Our leaders train the team that we're "not in the dive business, we're in the boat business and just happen to dive". Our training is extensive and focuses on the many complexities and varieties of the boats we service.

Our crew leaders, alongside Micah, are responsible for ensuring work is double checked, newer crew members are trained appropriately, and work is accomplished within targeted schedules. Though each of us work in all areas of the county the area they cover the most is related to their title and geography.

Office Team

Courtney Thompson

Office Director

Courtney oversees the office staff of both Gulf & Bay Divers and our sister company, Gulf & Bay Dock Wraps, that focuses on underwater dock work and protection. Gulf & Bay Dock Wraps has it's own full time staff, and if interested in a dock inspection, piling wrapping, concrete jackets, underwater chainsaw work, or debris removal please visit www.gulfandbaydockwraps.com

Valerie Wheeler

Billing Manager

We're honored to have Courtney's mom as a steady part of our team. She came on board through a rather unfortate event but are glad it lead to continued work with family. Courtney contracted viral meningitus in 2016. It put her out of commission for a while and Valerie helped fill in to make sure invoices and boat reports kept going out so we could stay afloat. We continued to grow as Courtney was recovering and we asked if it's something Valerie would like to keep doing. We don't know how we managed before Valerie's assistance.

Chris Sinclair

Office Manager

Chris has had a life-long interest in scuba diving. His love for the sport landed him at Gulf and Bay where he transitioned into helping run the office. A strong believer in the company’s motto of the 3 H’s - Honest, Humble and Hungry - Chris strives to continue to better himself and learn new skills while passing his experience onto newer members of the Gulf and Bay family. Chris is the primary contact to update billing credit cards, discuss scheduling, and get answers for customers from our divers and leadership team.
