ScubaNation.com
is the brain child of 14-year South Florida resident, Billy
Catoggio, a native of Malden, MA, whose passion since childhood
has been the ocean, marine life, and scuba diving. Catoggio's
love of the ocean led him to Tallahassee, Florida, where he studied
Marine Biology at Florida State University. Upon graduating he moved to
Miami, Florida, where he took his diving experiences to a new level and
worked a brief stint at the Miami Seaquarium, where he trained dolphins
and sea lions.
Catoggio
held a successful career in Human Resource Outsourcing for 13 years, but
his passion to be a pioneer in the scuba diving industry never quieted.
His desire to live his passion and be an entrepreneur took precedence in
2007 and the creation of the "Nation" ensued. "I am a fan of social
media and an active diver. I wanted to bring social media to a
dive-specific website with a cutting edge, web 2.0 feel," shares Catoggio.
"There was really no other website out there that combined scuba diving
with social media and ScubaNation.com
will be that solution for scuba divers worldwide."
