Trip Coordinators & Tour Guides

Lisa Slater, originally from London England, has always enjoyed the great outdoors. Having trekked the Himalayas, camped throughout South and East Africa and traveled through most of Asia, her appreciation of nature and different cultures has been fueled by her travel experiences.

Lisa became a Dive Master in Egypt in 1995 and a certified PADI Open Water Instructor in 1997. Her interest in diving increased as she traveled to various exotic locations. For the past ten years her work in tourism has taken her to Trinidad and Tobago, Egypt, Honduras and Japan. She started in Tokyo by leading weekend trips to Shimoda, a resort town near there. Lisa continued on to work at the ski slopes of Nigata and then the warmer climate of Japan's South-West Islands. A published writer on the subject of diving in Japan, Lisa is one of the few bilinguals qualified to coordinate trips and act as a guide in this region.

John Chandler was first introduced to scuba diving at age 15 and enjoyed a childhood of surfing and diving around the warm waters of the Caribbean and Florida. He served in the U.S. Marines for 29 years and during his active duty was fortunate enough to be able to travel extensively throughout Europe and Asia. During his travels John developed a passion for photography and when the service posted him near the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans or the Mediterranean Sea, he turned his camera to things underwater. He has remained active in diving and photography ever since.

Certified as a PADI Dive Master in 1982, John has continued to lead dive trips around the world. In 1996 John took time off to earn his PADI Open Water Instructor certification and later advanced through Master Scuba Diver training and IDC Staff Instructor. Since May of 1998, John achieved the distinction of Master Instructor with more than 600 certifications. Since his assignments always seem to bring him back to Okinawa, this wonderful island has been John's second home for more than 15 years.
