Houston, Texas · SSI dive pros
Reef to Rave
Dive the day. Dance the night.
We live in Houston, which isn't a dive town — every good dive we get starts with a flight. So we make the trips count, and we stay for the music.
Salt water
Walls, reefs, night dives. Two SSI pros — David teaches, Jamie divemasters.
Stage lights
Same trip, other half. Festivals we fly for, and the music we drive to.
One trip, both halves. That's the whole idea.
Under the surface
SSI Open Water Instructor
400+ logged dives, and well over a decade teaching them. Walls, night dives, sidemount — most weekends he's either in the water or at the shop in Bellaire getting somebody else into it.
SSI Divemaster
She runs the dive — the boat, the gear, and the divers who forgot which way their fins go. On shop trips she's the one keeping the group together.
The Philippines
Ten nights of walls and macro. Last July it was Little Cayman — 18 divers and a lot of wall.
After the sun goes down
- Favorite so far EDC OrlandoElectric Daisy Carnival. The one we clear the calendar for.
- Close behind ACLAustin City Limits — a two-hour drive instead of a flight, and just as good.
- On repeat Above & BeyondThe two we play loudest. Major Lazer runs a close second.
- Still on the list TomorrowlandBelgium. Not yet — but it's on the board, and it's getting closer.
- The overlap Dive, then the showMorning on the wall, lights down at midnight. The trips this channel is built around.
Just getting started
Reef to Rave is the channel we're building around both halves: the dives, the festivals, and the travel in between. Shot on our own trips — no thirty-second intros, no fake enthusiasm. Just the water, the music, and what it costs to get there.
