Chris Kenst - Instructor

Diving Background / Experience:


Chris Kenst has been diving professionally for over four years and is currently working with Sports Chalet in Southern California as a Scuba Instructor. He is a newly minted Scuba Instructor and now trains new and experienced divers while also making time to teach free Discover Scuba Diving classes monthly.

Chris is quickly moving from an Open Water Scuba Instructor to a Master Scuba Diver Trainer in the next month as he readies himself for all the adventures that come with scuba instruction. He couldn't get his good friend Ryan Redlin to join just yet but hopefully in the future.
