Pete Nawrocky
National Field Manager, Dive Rite, Inc.
Pete Nawrocky began his diving career in 1971 in Long Island, NY. As a marine biology major in college, Pete became fascinated by the ocean and wanted to see for himself what he was studying. Since his High School days, Pete has spent over thirty years exploring and diving the ocean and shipwrecks near his home in the northeastern United States.
Pete joined Dive Rite in 1998 and is best known for his willingness to share his passion for diving with others. Pete has established quite a following of divers who enjoy his affable approach to teaching and Pete can be found at least once a month in the water with a group of divers who want to learn new techniques or try new gear, such as the O2ptima FX closed circuit Rebreather. Pete makes it a point to dive with all of his clients as often as possible; believing that diving is what builds lasting relationships and after all, is what draws everyone to this unique industry in the first place.
An avid underwater photographer, Pete’s photos have graced the pages of many scuba magazines over the years and can often be found in Dive Rite’s own advertisements. Always the educator, Pete often uses his photography in his lecture presentations, which has taken him across the nation from Anchorage Alaska to the World Trade center as well as Industry Trade shows, local aquariums, high schools and retirement homes. Pete’s enthusiasm for diving has no bounds and is only occasionally interrupted by his love for golf (but that is another story).
