Dive Instructor
Garrison joined the GXG family in 2019 as a Seamester student on S/Y Argo. Quickly falling in love with the worlds of sailing and diving, he knew he wanted to perpetuate this experience for others. In 2020, Garrison moved to the island of Utila in Honduras to become a SCUBA instructor. He gained his teaching certifications and spent the pandemic days snorkeling the reefs and learning to identify Caribbean fishes. In the fall of 2020, he started school at Vanderbilt, majoring in Economics and History with minors in Spanish and Business. Whenever he needs to share a fun fact or wants to flex on his friends, he talks about AQ summers filled with night dives, exploring shipwrecks (don’t worry, none are AQ boats), and sunrise sails. A recent graduate, Garrison is incredibly grateful for another summer of beach barbecues, pranks, and creating a community on the water that no one can understand without experiencing it for themself.
