Adventure Travel

Leon Watts

My passion for adventure has taken me around the world several times and worn out a few passports. I began mountaineering in 1999 and immediately began to travel the world climbing big mountains. This led to my leaving the corporate world and developing a career teaching and guiding trips to South America, Africa, and Nepal. I've guided canopy tours and whitewater rafting in Costa Rica, photographic safaris across the African continent, The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, trekking to Mt. Everest, and guiding high altitude  mountains in Argentina, Ecuador, Peru, Asia, and Mexico. 

I've had the opportunity to FREEDIVE and spearfish in some remote parts of the world and I'm a NAUI Freedive instructor.

I've been a SCUBA Instructor and guide for over 25 years and amassed several thousand dives all over the world. I'm certified to Advanced Tri-mix and I've specialized in deep shipwreck research.  In 1999 I wrote SHIPWRECKS of FLORIDA'S WEST COAST, the diving guide to Gulf of Mexico shipwrecks. (re-released in 2023) I've lectured on shipwrecks and written for and been profiled in a number of local and national publications. I've had the pleasure to instruct professional athletes, business titans, 10 year old kids, vibrant grandmothers, and even Tom Cruise. 

In 2024 I published my second book, The Tournament: Feeding Apex Predators For Fun and Profit. A close look at Florida's growing shark population and the dark side of shark tourism.

I was fortunate enough to be able to work with combat wounded veterans and I've done a number of "adventure" themed segments on the nationally syndicated DAYTIME NBC show. 

I'm a Coast Guard licensed captain rated Master of 100 ton vessel.

Its been fun so far.

20 Years of Freediving Experience and Instruction

With so many freediving courses out there it's difficult to decide which one is right for you. The focus of the NAUI Level One Freediver course is SAFETY, first and foremost. You won't be rushed into pushing limits and diving deeper to fill out a spearing charter. We teach the foundations of Apnea diving focusing on correct breathing, form and technique, and safety based on decades of experience and a perfect safety record.
