With a wealth of experience in both medicine and management,
coupled with a passion for diving, Greg is poised to lead the dive
operation to new heights
CHAPEL
HILL, N.C., April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Divi Dive Bonaire,
the esteemed dive operation of the renowned Divi Flamingo Beach
Resort & Casino, has been widely celebrated and
lauded with numerous awards since its inception. Following its
recent accolade as one of the Best Overall Dive Centers in the
world by Scuba Diving's 2024 Readers Choice Awards, Divi Dive is
thrilled to announce the appointment of Greg Greenbaum as its new Dive Operations
Manager.
"I'm so excited to help people experience
the treasure of our reefs and oceans here in Bonaire. We aim to have the best customer
service, the safest program, and exceed the expectations of all our
customers while upholding values of sustainability and
conservation."
Originally hailing from California,
USA, Greg brings a diverse background to his role at Divi
Dive Bonaire. With a Doctor of Medicine and a degree in exercise
physiology, he has spent over three decades in the medical field,
excelling as an emergency doctor, managing large teams of medical
staff, patients, and incoming units. His expertise in emergency
medicine has instilled in him a keen sense of responsibility and a
commitment to excellence.
Transitioning from medicine to motorsports, Greg served as the
National ST&TT Director at the National Auto Sport Association.
In this capacity, he managed franchise regional directors, honing
his skills in leadership and strategic planning.
However, it was Greg's love for diving that led him to
Bonaire. Having explored dive
sites around the world since his first dive in 1983, Greg and his
wife were captivated by Bonaire's
unparalleled beauty, pristine year-round weather, and the warmth of
its people. "We chose Bonaire
because we love the diving and the island itself," Greg shares.
"Every time we visited, we asked ourselves, 'Why are we leaving?'
Eventually, we decided to stay."
Now, Greg holds numerous specialty certifications from Scuba
Diving International (SDI) and the Professional Association of
Diving Instructors (PADI), including a Master Scuba Diver Trainer
certification with 12 specialty certifications. Greg steps into the
role previously held by Rick
Aguilar, known for his outstanding contributions as Dive
Operations Manager. Rick is now embarking on an exciting new
chapter, aligning his career with familial commitments. Luckily,
Greg has already been working with Rick and Divi Dive Bonaire since
January 2024, serving as a trusted
on-call instructor.
When asked about his goals for Divi Dive Bonaire, Greg
emphasizes a commitment to excellence. "My general goal is to
continue with the fantastic team at Divi Flamingo to make this the
best dive operation on the island," he states. "When I say 'the
best,' I mean that we aim to have the best customer service, the
safest program, and exceed the expectations of all our customers
while upholding values of sustainability and conservation. We're
going to continue working with STINAPA and the reef renewal program
here in Bonaire to protect our
natural resources," he affirms. "This is important — we want our
kids and our kids' kids to be able to experience the natural beauty
of our reefs and our oceans."
Greg's diverse background and business expertise will help him
focus on sales, marketing, and revenue as he works alongside
Assistant Dive Manager Mike Jackson,
making for a partnership that will help Divi Dive grow in all
aspects. With Greg Greenbaum at the
helm, Divi Dive Bonaire is poised for continued success and
innovation in the world of diving.
