Tim Charboneau

Tim has been diving since 2006 when he worked as a TC certified Small Vessel Captain for a popular adventure company in the Gulf Islands. He conducted diving and fishing charters, eco tours and water taxi throughout Southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. He has developed a thorough knowledge of the local shore and boat dive sites as well as abroad. His first Discover Scuba was in the Red Sea in Sharm el Sheik, Egypt and was hooked ever since. Tim helped initiate and start up the largest dive club on Vancouver Island called “Sunday Divers” which now has over to 250 members on the Facebook site. He also assisted with the Reefball Project under the Sidney Waterfront. Tim has also brought his technical skills to the shop with high standards towards equipment maintenance and diver safety. Tim came to us as a Divemaster and since joining the Wilson Dive Team, he has reached the narcotic depths of PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, SSI Advanced Open Water Instructor and ACUC Open Water Instructor. Tim takes great pleasure in assisting to organize and attend our Annual Dive Excursions to various places such as Rendezvous Dive Adventures, Red Sea, Belize, Fiji and Hawaii. Tim enjoys instructing everything diving, has great experience and certifications in a number of specialties and invites all to dive in and indulge in the fun of continuing education and meeting great dive buddies.
