Dani Targas was born and reaised in Brazil, where she first got certified. Moved to California to become a Designer. Tired of the indoor computer world, deadlines and the cold water of the Pacific, Dani decided to make a career out of what she always loved the most: SCUBA DIVING! Not sure if she wanted to go back to her home land or stay in the US, Dani found St. Thomas right in the middle.  Currently living her true passion as an Instructor and diving the warm waters of the Caribbean.

Jared Buckstein, captain and instructor, describes himself as: born with the agility of a jungle monkey, the swimming ability of an endangered otter species, and the balance of a mountain goat!

Ramsey Smith has been diving since he mounted his GT and skillfully rode to his certification at 13 yrs old.  Growing up in Florida on the water made scuba diving and all other salt water activities second nature.  Ramsey joined the STDC team after spending two LONG years in DC and wanted to go all in on the warm weather, which landed him in St. Thomas with wife, child and brown dog. 

Doug is the other half of the "Doug and Tejo" team. He came to St. Thomas Diving Club as an Open Water Diver in 1993, and was teaching scuba with us a year later. Doug is a PADI IDC Staff Instructor who, after sixteen years experience training divers, thirteen years experience helping to train instructors, thousands of dives in the beautiful St. Thomas waters, the gain of a lovely wife and the loss of a head of hair, (rendering him the Uncle Fester of the Sea), ...... still doesn't have a dive site named after him.

Tejo (her only scuba name...kinda like Cher or Madonna, if they were divers) is one half, the better half of Doug and Tejo.   She started teaching at St. Thomas Diving Club back in 1996.  Tejo enjoys teaching and leading dives.
