Meet Your Trip Leader
Christian Hanson
Store Staff. Trip Leader.
I have been a fan of Gypsy Divers ever since getting my Open Water Certification in the summer of 2017. I had a great time with my instructor Billy and have been an avid diver ever since.
Christian went on many snorkeling adventures with his family before taking the plunge into the world of diving. You can usually find him at a local pool hall if he is not in the water or at the shop. He is always happy to help and talk with anyone who walks in!
