Sam grew up on the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean Sea in Lebanon, chasing fish and discovering the ocean’s secrets. That spark of love for the sea never faded. After moving to the United States to pursue a successful career in computer science with Fortune 500 companies, Sam’s heart remained underwater. A life-changing dive trip to the Red Sea was the catalyst—he knew it was time to follow his true calling and became a PADI Divemaster. Fluent in English, Arabic, French, and conversational Spanish, Sam brings a global perspective and a warm, welcoming spirit to every dive.

Rebecca’s love for the ocean was born during childhood summers at Rehoboth Beach, where she hunted for sand crabs and rode the Atlantic waves on her boogie board. With 14 years in the nuclear industry, championing safety and reliability, Rebecca’s knack for helping others and her passion for learning about new cultures have taken her across the globe. Now, she’s channeling that energy into Gold Coast Scuba, creating a space where every diver feels empowered and inspired.

In 2024, Sam and Rebecca joined forces to reimagine Gold Coast Scuba. We’re here to inspire, educate, and empower you to explore the underwater world with confidence. But we’re more than just world-class diving—we’re a community. Our dream is to create a dive shop that’s more than a store—a place where divers gather, share stories, and feel at home.

We’re deeply committed to making diving accessible and inclusive. That’s why we proudly support adaptive diving, ensuring everyone, regardless of ability, can experience the magic of the ocean. We’re also passionate about protecting our local marine environment. Through partnerships with local organizations, we actively contribute to coral reef development and restoration efforts, helping to preserve the vibrant ecosystems we all cherish.
