Hello, I'm Curtis! I am an Administrative Director with CoxHealth with over 15 years in healthcare, 10 of those at CoxHealth. I am also a Dive Pro and Assistant Instructor with Diventures and have been diving since 2017. I have traveled to lots of exciting places including Cozumel (Mexico), Roatan (Honduras), Belize, Jamaica, and the Red Sea (Egypt). Having the opportunity to lead a CME trip combines two of my passions, healthcare and diving; while creating relationships and professional networks that last beyond the training room and dive boat. If you dive, Cozumel is a fantastic experience, suitable for all skill levels, with some of the best diving in the world. If you do NOT dive, Fiesta Americana is an all-inclusive resort with lots of relaxation opportunities, land and water activities, and dining options. If you don’t dive now, and want to, let me know … we can take care of that too!
