DeepWater Mafia was founded by a group of Christian Mississippi Divers who enjoy Spearfishing, Underwater Photography, or just going Offshore on the Gulf of Mexico. The club is governed by the DWM-9 Board of Directors and has over 100 members spread across the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Born and raised in South Mississippi. Grew up fishing, crabbing, and cast netting here in Ocean Springs.
Learned to dive in 2005 but only did resort diving till I met The Pirate, Salty Bones , and Torch. They invited Shark Whisperer and I to dive with them and we were immediately OBSESSED with the sport!!!

I started diving in 2002 when I graduated high school, after that my whole family got certified and we fell in love with spear fishing. Shortly after I contracted overseas and had the opportunity to dive all over the world, but our gulf waters always brought me home!
There is nothing like dropping down on an oil rig and watching the marine life. It’s a whole different world down there! Joining the Mafia has been one of the best things for me. It has giving me the opportunity to dive more than I could ever dream of.
