Tom Mitchell
Hello, fellow water enthusiasts! I'm Tom Mitchell, the face and fins behind Cape Fear Dive Co.
Growing up in Erie, PA, on the shores of Lake Erie, my days were filled with the sounds of lapping waves and rustling sails. Those waters were my playground, where I spent my summers racing small sailboats. It was during these years that I discovered my passion for being on the water. My college years added another layer to my aquatic journey, as I served as a deck hand on the Brig Niagara for four summers.
Fast forward to my diving days, and the underwater world became another dimension of my love for the water realm. This passion brought me to Wilmington, NC in 2023, a city that resonated with my coastal spirit.
Now, as the heart of Cape Fear Dive Co., I'm on a mission to share my love for both diving and the water with others. Whether you're keen on exploring the depths below or simply sharing tales of the sea, I'm here to be a part of that journey. Dive in with me, and let's make waves together!
