🎉🐙 Kenny the Kraken's Final Dive-log Entry from the DR 🐙🎉

Well folks… it’s official. Tonight, Kenny hit the highest high tide of his underwater career. There’s no deeper dive, no higher certification — he’s officially reached the Kraken Pinnacle.(Course Director) 🏆🌊

Surrounded by saltwater, sunshine, and some seriously amazing humans, Kenny’s heart (and all eight of his tentacles) are full. Over the past week, he’s grown gills emotionally (don’t fact-check that) and made friendships stronger than a steel-tipped speargun.

But before he jets back to the U.S. — presumably with a suitcase full of dive logs, certifications, and slightly soggy snacks — Kenny wants to give some deep-sea level thanks to a few MVPs:

💙 Scott – for always being there with encouragement, advice, and just the right level of tough love Kraken-style motivation.
💛 Jayme – for being the warmest cheerleader in the ocean, with kindness that could calm even the saltiest sea creature.
📘 His Course Director Tom– for dropping knowledge bombs like a wise underwater Yoda, and never holding back a single useful tip.
🌀 Michael Cutler – the one who pushed Kenny off the dock (metaphorically... we think) and got this wild ride started. Kenny owes ya a fin bump, my dude.

What’s next? Oh, just a whole lot of awesome. Kenny’s got big plans brewing once he’s back in the States — and he can’t wait to show everyone what’s in store. Until then, keep your bubbles steady and your buoyancy balanced.

As I read this email from PADI I can't believe it's been 5 years since I started this journey with one of the best dive instructors I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Michael Cutler was some of the best in his field. I wanted to take this time to thank him for all of the knowledge, wisdom, pride, and friendship through out this professional journey with PADI. I am honored to have met this milestone and can't wait to reach more.

Thank you to everyone who has been by my side in any portion of this journey I love you all!!!

Calling all of my friends who care about the welfare of the Dolphins and Whales here in South Florida. If you could pay it forward and repost this flyer for Dolphin Plus MMR’s Gala I would greatly appreciate it. This cause hits home more than most people realize. Just last weekend we had a stranding of a Rare Pygmy Whale here in Southern Florida. With the help of dedicated staff and donations from all of you we can continue the efforts. Some of you may not realize this but when a Dolphin or Whale is stranded we currently do not have the rehabilitation pool built here in Islamorada so these animals are transported north to a facility that can care for them. This Gala will help raise the money to finish the rehabilitation pool so that when we rescue a Dolphin or Whale they can be cared for here in the Keys instead of traveling hundreds of miles north. If you would like to join the efforts and can’t come to the Gala please repost the flyer, make a donation, adopt a Dolphin. There are so many ways to help!!
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
