Joaquin Diaz

Level IV Captain Rank Chief Instructor/Assessor
Rated 5/5 by 10 students
Captain J's father was a lobster fisherman. Even while fulfilling his mother's ambitions, that he become an architect, Captain J always kept a toe in the water. As the years passed Captain J's foot kept getting wetter. After finding a like-minded First Mate, Captain J sold the house, and moved to a sailboat, where the couple raised two children while island hopping the Caribbean. At the children's request "we want to be normal", we returned to civilization (a misnomer).

Joaquin was a pleasure to have as a captain and teacher. He was patient, let me skipper his boat and execute all maneuvers, clearly addressed questions, and was professional throughout. A true pleasure - I highly recommend him.
