Scubaverse Interviews Diving Legend Peter Hughes
Scubaverse.com’s Jeff Goodman Interviews Diving Legend Peter Hughes
The accolades for Peter Hughes are endless. In 2011 Peter received the DEMA Reaching Out Award for helping to evolve the liveaboard diving industry over the past three decades. Also after spending more than 25 years building his former liveaboard company, Peter Hughes Diving Inc. (now known as Dancer Fleet), he created a new project, the DivEncounters Alliance. This year, Peter was inducted into the International Scuba Hall of Fame.
I asked Peter when it was and why he first became interested in the sea and diving.
Peter: My family immigrated to Trinidad in 1951 – I had my 4th Birthday on the ship during the crossing. I learned to swim at that age and by the time I was 7 years old I had been introduced to snorkelling – using goggles, nose clip, long Aluminium S-shaped snorkel with rubber cage & ping pong ball at end, and ‘flippers’! That was it for me!! I never looked back. On my 10th Birthday my father gave me The Silent World by Jacques Cousteau and after that all I ever wanted to do was to dive.
Jeff: What influenced you into creating your first scuba business?
Peter: As I was never much “into school” I figured diving would be a good way to go after I basically graduated high school (the British equivalent – GCE “0” Levels). After a short stint as a commercial diving apprentice in Trinidad (one year only) I went to work for Texaco Trinidad, Inc. as an apprentice oil field production engineer. I resigned from that position after three years and at 21 years old moved to Tobago to work at Camp Crusoe, a water sport summer camp for teenage boys (13 – 18 years old), and after the boys eight week sessions, girls at the same age – teaching scuba diving, spear fishing (freediving only), sailing, water skiing, rowing, etc.
Camp Crusoe (I was Camp Director at the time) closed at the end of 1971 due to political unrest in Trinidad in 1970/71 and from there I went to Roatan where I started the Dive Shop in earnest, basically converting Anthony’s Key Resort from a failing sailing resort into the successful dive resort it still is today.
I met my wife there in 1972 and we were married (in Kansas City) in 1975. We then moved to Bonaire and started a new dive shop operation there – Teach /Tour Diving (Bonaire,) N.V. – at the Flamingo Beach Hotel for the US company Teach/Tour Diving, Inc. out of Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
Teach/Tour Diving, Inc went bankrupt in early 1977 and my wife and I were able to “obtain the assets” of Teach/Tour Diving (Bonaire,) N.V. by way of a court action and started our first company Dive Bonaire, N.V.
Jeff: Having once created your businesses, what kept you going the most? – the desire to make your enterprises successful, a love of the oceans, sharing a passion for diving? What drives you on?
Peter: Once we realized the appreciation others had for the ocean/reefs etc we just wanted to keep on making the experience available to as many as possible, and Bonaire was the perfect place for that – we eventually sold our business to Divi Resorts, N.V. (the publically traded company – AMEX – at the time) in 1985 and I signed a five year employment contract along with a non-compete agreement. I worked for Divi Resorts, N.V. for five years (as contracted) as Vice President Marine Sports Division and was tasked with building dive shop operations at all Divi Resort, N.V. properties throughout the Caribbean. That was an exciting & very rewarding period of my life.
At the end of the five year employment contract I resigned (very amicably) and continued to honor my non-compete. My wife (Alice) and I started our liveaboard business Jan. 1991 with the liveaboard dive vessel M/V Sea Dancer that we ‘purchased’ as part of my separation agreement from Divi Resorts, N.V. The rest is history.
Jeff: The diving industry has evolved immensely since the 1960s, and in many ways. New technologies, ease of travel, and increased disposable income have all contributed to more people scuba diving and travelling to do so. What has been the most noticeable change for you?
Peter: For sure there have been many positive changes in the dive industry over the past 45+ years – many good, but also unfortunately, some not so good. I hate to be a ‘black cloud’ but the deterioration our oceans & reefs is of major concern to me as the world moves forward, seemingly without concern.
I feel concern that we see many ‘certified’ divers showing up that lack the necessary skills for certain of the more challenging open water conditions and they can easily prove to be a hazard to themselves as well as to others.
The dive industry itself does not, in my humble opinion, seem to be growing as it should be – I worry our retention rate is not what it should be and that our loss of participation is pretty much on par with our gains.
As aforementioned, I hate to be a ‘black cloud’ but do sometimes feel the need to be realistic and express my concerns honestly.
Jeff: Along with over fishing and pollution, pressure from recreational scuba diving has also taken a major toll on reefs and other marine ecosystems. Do you think this trend is finally turning and people are becoming more aware of the fragility of our seas?
Peter: I touched on this above – over fishing of any kind is a MAJOR concern, but the onslaught against sharks, and now even more worrisome due to much slower reproductive cycle, the onslaught against Manta/Mobula Rays, is horrifying!!! Pollution of any kind is of grave concern, but most urgently is our inability to keep ‘plastics’ out of our oceans & waterways.
Again, only in my opinion, I see ‘pressure from scuba divers’ as the most minimal of problems facing our oceans today – sure we have inconsiderate or poorly trained divers causing damage to sensitive reefs etc, but I like to think they are in the minority. Scuba Divers are the world’s ‘eyes’ to what is happening, and as such need to be the world’s ‘mouth’ too and SCREAM out their observations & concerns to EVERYONE involved.
Jeff: Do your enterprises incorporate any conservation codes and if so, how are you enforcing them?
Peter: As the President or CEO (whatever my title may have been at Peter Hughes Diving, Inc. / Dancer Fleet) I had full control over the operations of the vessels in the fleet and particularly those that I (and the bank) owned, so yes, we did what we could to minimize our impact wherever we operated. We hired locally wherever possible, we supplied locally wherever possible, we bunkered locally, we spent tens of thousands (probably more like hundreds of thousands) of dollars over my career installing, maintaining & repairing permanent moorings – which immediately became the property of the state once installed and therefore available to all – first come first served – with the only ownership being retained by the installer (my company) being the LIABILITY! Needless to say, regardless of which vessel may have caused damage to any mooring, we were always quick to fix it due to this ‘quirk’ in the law. We had stringent sewage disposal protocol, bagged all garbage on board to bring back to shore to be properly disposed of, we offered free buoyancy control workshops every week – Zen Diving – and offered seminars on REEF Etiquette too– REEF Patrol etc.
Today, the vessels operating as part of the DivEncounters Alliance are all individually owned & operated and I have ZERO vested interest in any of these vessels – these independent owners are all conservationists at heart and operate accordingly as after all, their very business success depends on it.
Jeff: One of my personal frustrations with any dive operator, especially those who display the ‘eco friendly’ badge, is that they serve sea food on their boats and resorts. When I ask why and where the fish etc. comes from I nearly always get the answer that it is sustainably sourced from another area. When I ask where from and why is it sustainable, I get the generic blank look. In my opinion there are very few if any sustainable wild fisheries that allow species to thrive. Some farmed species do lend themselves to eco friendly production. Do you have any policies or thoughts on this?
Peter: Again I have to be a realist and sometimes that means we have to see the big picture around us – we cannot lose sight of the forest for a tree! We are all conservationists at heart; as aforementioned, our business success depends on it but likewise, our business success – and we are in business with HUGE investments in the vessels – we are not NGOs or other charitable organizations. Some reasonable ROI is essential & quite justified, so with that being understood, we must give our guests what they expect whenever we can – and being “in the tropics” for many that expectation is “fresh sea food!” If the fresh sea food is purchased locally, from local fishermen operating within the laws of their country, I see no fault in buying their products, and in fact used to encourage my Captains & Chefs to do so whenever possible – buy local!!
When a good, reliable local source was not available then farmed sea food was utilized – amazing Tilapia and Shrimp etc available in countries like Ecuador / Galapagos for example.
Jeff: It was always thought that fish and other marine animals do not feel pain and other emotions such as fear and a great will to live. This has now been proved otherwise. Have you been able to witness any of these behaviours in marine animals when diving with them?
Peter: This is tough to know – fish and marine creatures (other than mammals) are cold blooded – do they feel pain and know fear? I do not know. What I do know however, is that all creatures have a survival instinct and all are equipped with some means of defence mechanism but as we also know, not all defence systems are fool proof and the ocean can be a cruel place with just about every creature in there being predated upon by another with the Great White Shark perhaps being at the top of the food chain – but even he/she can be predated upon by the mighty Killer Whale, the same creature that can round up gigantic Sperm Whales just to eat their tongues and then leave these magnificent creatures to die; how much fear, how much pain is felt in the process? I cannot begin to know.
This is the realism of the “wild kingdom” whether in the ocean or on the land, is it not?
Jeff: Is diving for you today as exciting and fulfilling as it was in the early days of your career? What do you love about it most?
Peter: I no longer feel I need to dive every day or do three/four dives per day, but diving is still VERY special to me – Diving (deeper is better) is my quiet time, my “my” time when I can just float silently & weightlessly and observe around me as life continues (seemingly without me). It is a time when pleasant thoughts wander aimlessly through my mind and the smiles that come to my face sometimes cause my regulator to leak – it is “my” time when time seems to stop, even if only for an hour …
Jeff: One of the modern aspects of diving is the ability of everyone to take good underwater photos and video. Small and cheap cameras allow every diver to take some sort of image to remember their dive by. I well remember my first professional camera was a Bolex wind-up clockwork film camera with no exposure metering, no through the lens viewing and only a 2 minute run time before having to surface to change magazines. Do you think the ability now for everyone to take images has changed the way they dive and perceive the marine world in which they are visiting?
Peter: The last camera I owned (still have it) is a Calypso (precursor of the Nikonos) and I too fiddled with a Bolex Housing & Camera for a short time while working in Tobago (1968 – 1971) but after that period I became far too busy trying to build the dive shop(s) I was tasked with managing (and later owning) and taking care of my divers to fiddle with cameras, so just simply stopped. Sometimes I wish I had kept at it but today, maybe not so much – today there seems to be a general lack of talent needed to get good photos what with digital – shoot as many images as you want of any subject, look at the image (delete too) as you shoot as opposed to just having 24 or 36 exposures and then the development process to see what you got – and now, it seems everyone has not only an U/W camera but a laptop with programs to completely alter the image after your are back, sitting comfortably with a Rum & Soda at your computer – that kind of takes the challenge of nailing that one “keeper image” out of it for me.
BUT, the more beautiful images taken & shown by divers to others is a wonderful thing – the ‘eyes’ of the world so that others may see/know what is down there and why it is so important that we take very good care of it!!
Jeff: Would you have any advice for a young person wanting to start a dive business either on land or a Liveaboard?
Peter: Be sure you know exactly what you are getting yourself into and make very, very sure you understand the laws, permitting processes etc, work permit opportunities, importation laws etc. of the destination of your choosing…
Jeff: If you could leave a lasting legacy or message to all future divers, what would it be?
Peter: The world is nothing without our vibrant, healthy, living oceans and we are quite literally, I think, killing them! If we do not stop the destruction and immediately start reversing our direction what we will leave our grand kids (I have no kids) will not be what we have, what we know and what we love – and that is just not acceptable!
Jeff: Thanks Peter. I look forward to meeting you one day. Good diving.
Peter: Thanx for the opportunity – look forward to meeting you some day and as always … keep an ocean mind.

Mark Evans… you’ve created a monster.
A monster of a dive show, that is. It’s hard to believe just how fast the GO Diving Show has grown since its inaugural outing back in 2019. Mark and his team have done something the previous UK dive show organisers never did; they’ve listened to the industry and have taken on board what their exhibitors want, and hat’s off to them – they’ve delivered.
Carpet, for example. I know, I know – having a carpet down doesn’t seem like that much of a big deal. But aesthetically, it really elevates the professionalism of the show (and your dogs won’t be barking quite as much as they would have been had you been traipsing around on a concrete floor all day; many of the exhibitors I spoke to were extremely grateful for that). There were black drapes on the walls which hid the sterile-looking breeze blocks the building is made of. These simple additions make a real difference, both to exhibitors and the show’s visitors. It just looks better.
As usual, the Go Diving Show 2025 featured an army of speakers who entertained, educated, and inspired the show’s visitors across several stages. TV presenters and adventurers Steve Backshall and Andy Torbet were among the highlights. Backshall, known for his passion for wildlife and adventure, captivated the audience with his talk, sharing his thrilling experiences and diving expeditions. Torbet, renowned for his adventurous spirit, delivered a compelling presentation titled “Technical Diving on the Telly,” where he explored the challenges of showcasing technical diving on television and the unique perspectives it offers. Monty Halls, known for his conservation work, introduced his “Big Blue Bag” citizen science project, encouraging the audience to contribute to marine conservation. Meanwhile, Dr. Dawn Kernagis spoke about the future of human subsea habitation, giving an insightful look into the advancements in underwater living. In the photo and inspiration sessions, Ellen Cuylaerts shared her incredible adventures from remote locations, emphasizing the importance of dive safety with DAN membership, while Jane Morgan wowed the crowd with her stunning photography of wrecks in “Supermodels of the Sea.” Jane, who is the Dive Safety Officer at Falmouth University, also introduced 10 students to the stage to present their own UK supermodels which they had shot since being at Falmouth Uni. These speakers, among many others, contributed to a diverse and inspiring lineup that offered something for everyone.
In addition to the speakers, other entertainment over the weekend included a Mermaid pool, which proved very popular with families, breath-hold workshops, virtual reality diving, an on-land wreck survey, and more.
If you went to the show to book a dive holiday, you had plenty of options. There were dive centres, resorts, and liveaboards from all over the world exhibiting at this year’s show, with dive specialist tour operators offering full packages at some great dive show prices. The Caribbean, in particular, had a strong presence, with the Bahamas, Saint Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, British Virgin Islands, Grenada, and Cuba all with stands in close proximity to each other (reminiscent of the Caribbean Village at the old dive shows in Birmingham. Who remembers the steel band that rocked up to do their thing every year?). It was good to see Gibraltar there too, and as ever, Malta and Gozo were there in force.
New kids on the block, DYNAMICNORD, were in attendance to show off their full product line for the very first time. For those who were impressed by the new company’s offerings, all they had to do was walk to the next stand, where the Scuba Dive Store team were selling DYNAMICNORD products. By all accounts, they had a great weekend, so congratulations to both parties.
While on the subject of manufacturers, it was great to see Cressi exhibiting at Go Diving. I can’t remember the last time they exhibited at a UK show! XDEEP were there showing off their customisation system for their wings (which is seriously impressive – check it out), and Sea & Sea were on hand to present their endless line of products (do you guys even sleep?!?), including Huish brands like Oceanic, Hollis, Atomic, Stahlsac, and Zeagle. Otter Drysuits had a great weekend – JJ and his team were rushed off their feet measuring divers up for drysuits, while Peter and the rest of the Miflex team, who were sharing a stand with Otter, were there previewing the latest offering from Miflex, KUBI, and the simply adorable reg bags from Oceanarium. Other manufacturers and distributors at the show included Mares, Fourth Element, AP Diving, Garmin, Hammond Drysuits, Custom Divers, and more. Suunto didn’t have a stand themselves, but their team could be found on the Andark Diving stand to assist divers with any questions about their products. Noticeably absent this year were industry giants Scubapro and Aqua Lung, who hopefully will return to the fold next year.
There was a great showing from the training agencies this year too, with PADI, SSI, BSAC, RAID, NAUI, and SDI/TDI all in attendance. I, like many others in the industry, hope they all had the chance to get together and discuss how they can work together to get more young people into the sport. Because it became quite apparent over the weekend that we are an aging industry, with very few young people coming through to carry the torch. There were so many familiar faces, but their hair had changed… everyone’s going grey! Someone needs to tell the kids that diving is cool, and the general consensus seems to be that it’s the responsibility of the training agencies to at least lead the charge on this. But that’s a conversation for another time.
In terms of crowd numbers, the show seemed packed on the Saturday, and most of the exhibitors I spoke to said they had an excellent day. Sunday was quieter in the morning, and like every other dive show I have ever been to (and over 19 years, that’s a LOT), it kind of died off in the afternoon, which was a shame as the last talk of the day, with an impressive lineup of the show’s speakers all on the stage together – including Steve Backshall and Monty Halls – had one of the smallest audiences of the whole weekend.
All in all though, Mark and the rest of the Go Diving Show team did themselves and the rest of the UK dive industry proud this weekend. The show had a fantastic vibe and judging from social media today, a lot of the show’s visitors had a great time. There’s a lot of love out there for GO Diving Show, and it’s well deserved.
Well done, Mark. We’re all looking forward to what you and the team cook up for us in 2026.
