Gil Zeimer

Scuba Storyteller

I was PADI-certified as an Open Diver in 1985 in a reservoir south of Dallas, TX, USA. After a few bone-chilling experiences in Northern California, I have dived exclusively in warm water ever since then in Australia, Micronesia, four of the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico, and throughout the Caribbean. 

I've been a travel writer and scuba storyteller for 30 years now, as well as a diver for more than 40 years.

My experience includes more than 110 scuba articles published in newspapers, magazines, and websites, plus another 170 scuba newsletters.

They have appeared in Scuba Times, Alert Diver, Adventure Journal, California Diving News, ScubaShow.com, ScubaRadio.com, inDEPTH Magazine, Red Sail Sports, Sport Diver Interactive, Dive Pacific Magazine, Asian Diver, Dive Travel, Scuba Diver Life, Local Getaways, Undercurrent, Traveling Diver’s Chapbook, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Marin Independent Journal, the Los Angeles Times, and more.
