Issah Legaspi

Introducing Isaiah Legaspi, the multifaceted maestro of maritime mastery at Ventura Dive and The Raptor. Holding the titles of First Mate to The Raptor, Shop Manager, Charters Director, and Lead Divemaster Intern, Isaiah brings eight years of free diving finesse and three years of scuba diving savvy to the salty depths.
A Ventura local with a childhood spent fishing off the shores, Isaiah's nautical journey has charted courses through a myriad of dive locales. Still, his heart belongs to Catalina Island Dive Park, where the underwater wonders never fail to captivate. His expertise shines brightest in doubles diving, navigating the depths with precision and poise.
Certifications? A laundry list of accolades adorns Isaiah's dive belt: Open Water Scuba Certified, Advanced Open Water Certified, Rescue Diver, EANx (Nitrox), Drysuit Certified, and a graduate of the GUE Doubles Primer course. Not to mention his ongoing pursuit as a divemaster aboard the Raptor and his unique EMT training, ensuring your safety above and below the waves.
What stirs Isaiah's soul beneath the briny surface? How hauntingly beautiful the quiet of the undersea realm is. 
Beyond the bubbles, Isaiah's life is as colorful as a coral reef. When he's not out to sea or plunging into the deep blue, you'll find him exploring maritime history and folklore or tinkering on a new mechanic project, all while enjoying the companionship of his Australian Cattle dog. And let's not forget his love for the open road – motorcycles are his preferred mode of transport, offering a thrilling contrast to the serene rhythm of the ocean.
So, if you're seeking an adventure beneath the waves on the Raptor, Isaiah Legaspi is your go-to privateer.
