John Hopkins and Jessie Lynn® actually met over a year ago at Vortex Spring Adventures while John was assisting Greg Davis and his crew with the Mark V Diving rig and class. You may ask, well what is a Mark 5 rig? "The Mark V diving rig was used by the U.S. Navy for deep sea and salvage diving from 1916 through the early 1980s. Designed for intensive diving operations and to provide maximum physical protection, the Mark V allowed divers to work at much deeper depths than had previously been possible" (U.S. Naval Undersea Museum. https://navalunderseamuseum.org) This is one of John's specialities to say the least.

Classic Diving LLC, is just one of John's business endeavours as he continues to serve in the U.S. Navy and offers classes on the Mark V "standard dress" and heavy metal diving!

So why don't you "dive" on in and join us for a little history lesson and discover how you too can be a dreamcatcher.
