Billy was certified to dive in 1980 as part of his paramedic duties and was immediately hooked on the sport side as well.  After becoming an instructor in 1983 he and his wife Cindy started Indian Creek SCUBA.  What started as a small idea and continued to grow until this day.  Multiple sets of training gear morphed into a small dive shop offering full services.  The onsite pool and evenutally a small bunk room worked perfect for private students working through their training.  An added bonuse was a coastal location away from the small area of Georgia that had become his customer pool.  Now the second location in Panama City Beach, Florida is perfectly located between the Georgia home base and the locations he is working with on the coast.  Vortex Springs uses Billy as the Director of their Armed Services program as well local operations on the Gulf location.
