Meet Your New Buddies

Ed Kelleher

Owner/Instructor Trainer/Hunter
"The Bubble Bat"
SDI/TDI #25952
Originally certified in the Florida Springs back in 2007, he’s been prowling New Jersey wrecks since 2012 and still picks up new tricks every season. A certified gas blender and repair tech, he keeps the gear (and the divers) running smooth. He claims he’s not Batman… but funny enough, they’ve never been spotted in the same room.

Kevin Pang

Owner/Instructor Trainer
"The Compressor Commander"
SDI/TDI #25953
A recreational Instructor Trainer, tech diver, and rebreather junkie, he’s also a certified gas blender and repair tech. If he’s not underwater, he’s elbows-deep in cylinders—because the compressor system is his pride and joy.

Jen C.

Instructor/Dive Girls Hair Braider/Hugger of Monkfish
"The Barehand Bandit"
SDI/TDI #28045
Always excited to dive into the water with students and dive buddies while making friends with all the marine life! The best parts of her dives is seeing the giant smiles on student’s faces, majestic sea flaps flaps, and cuttlefish danger hugs. Jen is also the face of the SDI skill training videos!

RIP Bill H.

Assistant Instructor
SDI/TDI #25949
Bill was certified in 2011. Volunteer firefighter since 1981. Photo and video enthusiast, NJ wreck diver, and world traveler. Gas blender, first response instructor, O2 administrator, and repair technician. Bill will be missed by his entire SJS family.

Jim H.

Assistant Instructor
"Captain Refresher"
SDI/TDI #31662
Some call him "Captain Refresher." Certified in 2002, Advanced in 2004, Rescue in 2008. Dive master since August 2010 including Emergency First Responder and enriched air diver. Known to play with Grizzly Bears. Fearless.

M.B

Divemaster
"Crash Cam"
SDI/TDI #28570
He's blue. VERY blue. Keep him fed and all will be well. Also, don't try to steal his food. NJ wreck diver, hunter, and photography enthusiast. Camera name: "The Kraken"

Carly
Instructor
"Venom Hand"
SDI/TDI # 34980

Traveler Mode is always on exploring and photographing the underwater world, but will turn on expert hunter mode when the opportunity arises. Most likely will be your top 5 favorite dive buddies you will ever have.

Tom C
Instructor
"The Rescue Goblin"
SDI/TDI #38929

Tom Calhoun first splashed into scuba in 1990, took a break (like many of us do), and then came back with a mission. A Bellmawr volunteer firefighter since 1987, he joined the Camden County Underwater Search and Recovery Team (Dive 3) in 2019 and never looked back. In 2024 he knocked out his SDI Divemaster and UCI Master credentials, and by 2025 he leveled up again as a diving instructor. These days you’ll find him exploring New Jersey wrecks and reminding every diver he meets to stay sharp, stay active, and keep training.

Ryan V
Instructor
"Captain Cold Brew"
SDI/TDI #36190

Originally certified in Monterey Bay in 2003, Ryan turned pro in 2010 so he could share the obsession. Warm water, cold water—it doesn’t matter as long as he’s submerged. Favorite memories include getting yelled at by sea lions in the Pacific and exploring a U-boat in the Atlantic.

Shane G
Divemaster
"Salt Dawg"
SDI/TDI #38928

Shane grew up in Southampton, NJ and now lives in Medford with his warm-water-only wife, Meredith. Certified in 1996, he dove recreationally and in public safety before life pulled him away—until a full return in 2022. He earned SDI Divemaster in 2024 and is currently completing his SDI Open Water Instructor. When he’s not diving, he’s skiing, surfing, or outdoors. From May through December, you’ll find him on the boats, in the shop, or underwater—right where he’s happiest.

Devin L
Divemaster
"Hammerhead"
SDI/TDI #241690

Devin got certified back in 2004 while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps and has been hooked on diving ever since. He’s been part of the SDI family for about five years and calls West End, Honduras his favorite dive spot with warm water, great reefs, and laid-back island vibes. As a Divemaster, Devin loves helping new divers build confidence and sharpen their skills. He’s the guy who keeps things calm, fun, and full of bad jokes while making sure everyone surfaces a better diver than they started

Jeff S
Instructor
"Chum Lord"
SDI/TDI #38932

Jeff Simpson is a public safety diver with Bellmawr Fire & Rescue #1 and the Camden County Underwater Search and Rescue Team, where he tackles high-risk underwater operations and recovery missions. A firefighter since 2012 and EMT since 2017, Jeff earned SDI Divemaster in 2024 and SDI Instructor in 2025. Known for his drive, precision, and calm under pressure, he’s passionate about mentoring new divers and advancing public safety skills—whether the mission is on land or below the surface.
