John Witherspoon has over thirty years of experience in the insurance industry. He received his B.A. degree in Business Administration from Mercer University in 1982 and his CIC designation in 1989. John previously worked as the manager of the SCUBA department for Gale Smith + Co. He is also active in commercial insurance business, handling various types of SCUBA manufacturing and service risks. In 1989 he put together a program for SCUBA professional liability. The program provided broad coverage at a competitive price and showed growth since its inception. In 1993, a store program was developed and a boat program the following year. These programs are very similar to the coverage we offer today.
John's interest in SCUBA dates back to the 1970s. He has been a master instructor in NASE (National Academy of Scuba Educators) and NASDS (National Association of SCUBA Diving Schools) and has more than five hundred dives to his credit. He also teaches underwater photography and videography as well as open water, advanced open water, and several specialties. He holds certifications and instructor ratings for several other certification agencies. John participates in DEMA conventions and programs.
John's unique blend of insurance and SCUBA expertise qualifies him to act as a program coordinator for our SCUBA program. He is the main contact for the boat and store coverages and lead underwriter for the program risk. His contacts with various instructional and retail associations, as well as his knowledge and interest in the sport make him the perfect asset.
