Chris Juredin
Manager/Owner
Chris has been diving in the British Virgin Islands for more than 25 years. His fascination with history and shipwrecks has led him to explore most of the waters surrounding the BVI and the shipwrecks that lie therein. While out diving in Anegada Chris located numerous walls, caverns, caves and of course wrecks, some have not been seen by people since their sinking as long as 300 years ago. When he does find a free moment, you’ll find him on the squash court or body boarding when the waves are good.
He founded We Be Divin’ in 2009 and since then the business has survived through hurricane Irma and Maria, as well as COVID-19. He also founded a local non-profit, Beyond The Reef and is a proud supporter of PAW BVI, with 100% of We Be Divin’ profit going to animal welfare.
