Marc Mermelstein *

PADI Assistant Instructor

Marc began diving in the summer of 2000 and has volunteered his time teaching at Queens College ever since. Always eager to learn everything about diving, he set his sights on becoming an expert technical diver. He has dived wherever there is water, favors the warm, clear Caribbean, and also appreciates New York’s shipwrecks and history. His love of diving led him to teach, and as they say, those who teach, learn.
